Guest guest Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 Hi Miriam, So glad you found us! Yes there are sooo many more families on this list than I had expected too. My family is in northern Nevada just outside Reno. DH and I have 2 boys. Aden 8 who has DS ASD and ADHD as well as some health problems. Our other son is Aren 5 who has ADHD and more and more as he grows slight signs of autism. This is a great list. They liteally have saved my sanity with their support and answers.

I am amazed to see 1026 members are listed. People make it sound like it is so unusual to have a dual DX. Looking forward to learning from everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 Hi Miriam. Welcome. My son is 12 and got the autism diagnosis at age 7. When you think about it, if 1 in 88 kids (and 1 in 54 boys) have autism, the same should be true of kids with DS!

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 Welcome to the list.  There are many many more kids like urs.  When Joan started this list, I believe there were about 100 or so of us.  And more everyday.  Not that our children have changed, but that professionals are recognizing the differences in our children.  Tell us some more about your child, where you are.  There is support out there!  And we here on this list, recognize the similarities.Sara Cohenliving in  the north GA mountains, mother of 7, Elie is 26 yo, next to youngest.   Hi, I am Miriam and I have an 8 year old with DS and ASD.
