Guest guest Posted December 25, 2007 Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 If I were you, I would call your local early intervention and request a developmental assessment. I would also suggest at your next doctor visit to put down every concern in writing, then bring in a list of autism characteristics and ask him/her why you should *not* be concerned. If your child doesn't have autism, then the ped should be able to point out why, despite these concerns, they do not add up. Your daughter may not have autism. At the same time, my experience along with countless others, was that my ped would not listen to me. I went to him for over six months with hallmark signs. For us, it was loss of appropriate babble/language, increasing restrictive eating, motor skills delays/regression (didn't walk until 17 mos), not giving eye contact, episodes of seeming to stare off with an odd look on her face, failure to recognize her name, failure to point to objects of interest or follow my gaze & pointing, and loose stools. With all this, he kept telling me " kids develop at different rates. " What ever. If your daughter does have delays, even if not autism, getting her help is the best thing you can do for her. Speech therapy is like play time, as is occupational therapy, as was ABA. " If she doesn't have autism, then she may get some unnecessary play time; if she does have autism, it might change her entire future. " That's the way I would phrase it to your ped and ask why he should not refer you to a speech pathologist for testing. I would also suggest you consider biomedical issues. My daughter began talking 5 days after starting her on something called the gluten-free, casein-free diet, or gfcf. It's the one McCarthy put her son on. There are also other safe, effective ways to help kids that may have autism, called " DAN! " or " Defeat Autism Now! " practitioners. One word of caution though, some on the list are quacks. I would highly recommend if you consider seeking one of these physicians/nurse practitioners that you check with other families near your area for who they all respect as a good one. IF you're comfortable sharing the region in which you live, I'm sure we could give you some good names. Hope this isn't too much info.

Guest guest Posted December 26, 2007 Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 you mention hearing impairment and in very young childrens with hearing impairments they can appear to have of autism, so she may be just developmentally differnet due to that alone. But there is of also a small portions of those with true autism who also have hearing impairments so you cannot be to rule autism out simply due to her having of hearing impairment. It isof best to call local childrens hospital places and see if they have a department of developmental pediatrics to see if she can be screened for developemental issues. You can also see if they have of a department of psychology department that can screen you child for autism? Sometime in you areas they will have an early intervention place which is free to do a complete developmental screen from child find perspectives. they can give you in breif some ideas, they are not the best always, but a good begin place if you want of something more quickly. some EI places are very good at detecting autism because they may see much of it in toddlers and preschoolers. If insurance will cover she can begin of seeing of an OT and speech professional for delays and such because if she gets a dx of autism many insurances will no longer cover of the serivices. Good luck in seeking the care you are of seeking forher . you are of a wise mom to be of to see things so early in her. the sooner the better she can begin the journey of supports to help her reach of her potential.

Guest guest Posted December 26, 2007 Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 Hello, My 8yo daughter just got her diagnosis and also has a hearing loss. This also contributed to years of being misdiagnosed. However, the extent of her hearing loss is mild and therefore should not have caused the type of delays that Hannah showed early on. I am learning that it's possible to have both of these things going on at the same time. > > If I were you, I would call your local early intervention and request > a developmental assessment.

Guest guest Posted December 26, 2007 Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 Debi, When you said your daughter was staring off into space with an odd look on her face....was that absence seizures? My daughter does that...her eyes cross and it is hard to get her attention for a few seconds and her eyes look kind of glassy too. She had a 30 minute EEG done and they didn't see anything abnormal. I tried getting them to do the sleep study, but they wouldn't ARGH Anyway, just thought it was interesting that you mentioned that. Have a good night, Gwen Re: How to detect autism If I were you, I would call your local early intervention and request a developmental assessment. I would also suggest at your next doctor visit to put down every concern in writing, then bring in a list of autism characteristics and ask him/her why you should *not* be concerned.

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 So did they diagnose her as having the seizures even though the 24 hour EEG was normal? When my daughter is sick or upset is mainly when it happens, but it happens other times too; but she will stare off into space, eyes glassy and they cross. Even though she is still somewhat alert, it is difficult to get her attention, etc. I guess I just don't know where to go when the doctors think she is fine because the EEG was normal??

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 The doctors think she is fine, I have my doubts. She is not being treated for them. I even pointed out one of them on the video EEG but they said that was " not a seizure. " My sister has seen them, my mom, my friend and of course, my husband... I do notice less of them than I did before but, they are definitely still there. They happen mostly when she is tired (coming in or out of sleep) although we have seen them at other times too.

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 I do not, Allie appeared to, though. She would just sorta look off in space, we'd say her name, no response, we'd touch her, not always a response, but usually within a few seconds, she'd be back. When we put her on the gluten-free, casein-free diet those episodes went away, we've not seen them since she's started back on gluten, so that's all good. Debi > > Do you have Absence Seizures? How did you get it diagnosed? What did it look like when Allie was having the seizures? Thanks so much, Gwen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
