Guest guest Posted August 12, 2006 Report Posted August 12, 2006 My name is Joyce. I read stories on autism speaks and I tear up. My 2 yr old daughter was diagnosed with autism 2 days ago by Dr. Gupta...I'm doing alot better with it now after talking to some people but its still hard. Autism never entered my head. I knew she was behind but thought shed catch up.She has a very limited Vocabulary that includes " go, see'dadda, yay, and hey " . I took her the day before her 2nd birthday on August 1st of this year to get birthday pictures. the photographer told me she thought I should check into autism. I read alot online that day when I got home and knew that was her condition. but after seeing a nuerologist yesterday and hearing it come out of her mouth I couldnt help but cry. she is on the mid level spectrum. I'm not in denial anymore but its still hard. I look forward to talking to others dealing with the same situation, We live in Auburn Hills, MI. and from what I'm hearing theres ALOT of resources here. I'm concerned though. My husband is in the Military so we move. We are up to move again January of this coming year but they havnt said where we'll go as of yet. Quote
