Hi Judy, I also set up the day's events for Zeb. I agree it does help. I also has to remind him many times during the day. We start off the school morning reminding him of what is going on that day in school. I can't write a book with you because Zeb isn't autistic not enough tendencies to be considered on the spectrum,LOL.

Guest guest Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 Really? Is it that he wasn't diagnosed as being autistic? does he not have the correct number of characteristics in the list of stuff? It seems to me from that list that when you find some key things, really there you are. Don't you think? Re: duel dx books?

He didn't have strong enough tendancies. I hang out on the list because I love the group. Charlyne Mom to Zeb 11 DS/OCD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 Interesting on what you had mentioned Joan, so true. I have a book I just bought: Early Communication Skills for Children with Down Syndrome...... A Guide for Parents and Professionals by Libby Kumin, Ph.D.,CCC-SLP.........Pages 174-175. When Dual Diagnosis Complicates Down Syndrome. I do own numerous books on Autism and the only time when Down syndrome is mentioned is on the statistics of kids with Autism, on the more common issues. Irma Re: duel dx books? Hi Laurie: There are none that are specifically on this topic. Woodbine House is beginning to mention autism in their books on Down syndrome, sharing what they glean. Conversely, they make sure authors of the autism series books never say anything that would lead people to believe persons with Down syndrome cannot have autism, or any other psychiatric disorder, too. The best thing to do is to begin to educate yourself about autism in general and then really look at Mic and decide where his strengths are. One of my favorite first books was " Targeting Autism " by Shirley Cohen because it gave me a summary of all the different educational strategies and therapies that are out there. That helped me understand what I was reading about autism elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
