Hi, Everyone....Amy....coming in late in this but, as you can read, there

are many of us that have been in your situation and know/feel your

frustrations. I respect Dr Capone, but I don't believe that at the age of 5

y/o

Quinn is finished learning. I know that I was told at the age of 6 y/o that

there was nothing that could be done for Gareth and that the family needed

to be supported. As you know, Gareth went on to school and Lifelink at

PSU. Don't give up....just keep trying to tap into his brain/communication.

....do you and live in the burg area? Some one from

that area was on the site yrs ago but I haven't seen them post for a long

time.

.....how old is Mina? Are there options available? Mina, do this

first and then you can watch...... Being in their own world is not a bad

thing, either, if they are content and you have work to do. We all know that

we can't spend 24 hrs a day at their beck and call. Gareth spends most of

his day now sitting in a chair, in silence, and smiling/waving to people in

his world. If something needs done, he will do it but when his job is

finished, he's back in his silent world. Like Sara, he needs yes or no

questions. He is on Lexapro or Luvox for his OCD and that does take the edge

off

a lot of the negative behaviors.

Jean....if has already had the swine flu, then he does not need the

vaccination. His body is immune and, as far as complications go, the cough

can linger for a month BUT if he develops a fever 3-5 days after finishing

the flu fever, then that is when the concern for pneumonia should be

addressed. Go to message 95683 to read about the latest safety report on the

vaccination.

Leah.....my Mom commented today on how noticeable the regression is that

she sees in Gareth since the last time. It reminded me of what your Mom

said this summer.

Take care, Everyone.
