Re: General question about autism

[Guest guest]

I loved the DS/ASD clinic at Hershey Medical Center and I would travel to

use it rather than go to CHOP any day of the week. Thye have a whole

developmental team and will follow into adult hood.

General question about autism

My niece lives in Phila area, her little boy is 3 1/2, his nursery

school teacher is questioning aspects of autism. My niece has agreed

to have her son tested through the local IU. Who would anyone

recommend in the area for testing forgeneral developmental delays. I

go to Dr. Capone but then again he works with a DS crowd. If you were

in her situaion who at CHOP is good to go to?

I have heard of Dr. Pipan MD who tracks 0 to 36 months. She is at CHOP.

Does anyone have any other DR. that they think is cool?

She is in the doylestown/phila area..

Thanks people!!!!

Hi

Dr. Pipan is the speaker that we heard at the afternoon workshop (Dual

Diagnosis) on 4/12 at CHOP.

I don't think I would refer your niece and her son to her specifically (though

there may be an autism clinic there).

Otherwise, Kennedy Krieger/s Hopkins has an excellent autism center-worth

the extra hour drive.

Best,

McDonnell

Hi! It's with the nephew! Do you believe I was saying Dr.

Pipan after last week? But I did think she (Dr. Pipan) understood 0-

36 months real well. I did not want to send my niece to Dr. Capone

because I felt he dealt with DS, and little Liam does not have DS he

is typical at this point with delays. He is three and a half with 9

month delays, I am not sure in what area of development. It seems

difficult for my niece to talk about it at this point in time.

But if I call Capone's office they would probably help me find a

developmental Ped. down at Kennedy Krieger. I do agree that KK is

the best and they have helped all the way.

I suppose the best thing is to just get a clear read on where a

child is and what they need.

I am also trying not to overstep myself and scare my niece because I

sometimes think that ' dx is a little scary to the general

populus. Trying not to laugh.

Pray for me that I say the right things, and can be helpful. Let me

know what you think?

Thanks,

Sarno

>OOOhhh, I just spoke with my niece and she has an appt for her

little guy in two months with a developmental ped at Dupont hospital

for children. She told me 6-8 months at CHOP! Disgrace! But reality.

It only took us two weeeks for Dr. Capone, I think we had an angel

or something. That was about a year ago, and then I found this list

serv and things are better!

I feel so lucky!

You are doing the right thing by your niece- you are presenting options to her

and support- she is very lucky!!

I believe in the power of prayer as well- you will be guided in your

conversations with her.

I think my niece will be ok and so will he little guy. I am praying

for them. I truly believe in prayer also. I am certain that God is

in these children, even more than other children.
