Guest guest Posted December 22, 2001 Report Share Posted December 22, 2001 Oh! Hi. Now I see your intro. Three? Ages? Names? All the other vital statistics? So very glad you found us. I don't use a sig line cause I post on line, but I'll introduce myself and brood so you at least have an idea of whom I am writing or complaining about. We live on the southern Oregon coast which is lovely, but has very little in the way of shopping. The community is small town, supportive (mostly) and folks are generally really nice. I am a SAHM, married for 15 years to a pretty darn good guy. He's like a good bottle of wine that keeps improving with time. He has one daughter from a previous marriage that is 21, married and has a baby. We have five kids. , 14, Aspergers, Tourettes, Hyperlexic, incredibly brilliant. She is going to high school up at my parents because the HS here was not exactly helpful. She's doing extremely well there. Her being there has been good for Gail, her, and my parents. Gail, 12, Still waiting on CDRC report. Current dxs are severe ADHD, OCD, anxiety with panic attacks. Revised is supposed to be Panic Disorder with features of PDD, ADHD and a written language LD. Gail also has some other health problems we are dealing with that are requiring referrals to the University in POrtland which is a days drive away. , 9, autistic, tourette's, recently dx's with bipolar. He is moderate to high functioning. He is doing better the last couple weeks since we have changed his meds again and started him on a combination of trazedone and risperidol. The last year has been VERY bumpy indeed, but maybe, just maybe, possibly things may be leveling off. , almost 4, no dx yet. Evaluated at CDRC and determined to have sensory regulatory problems, behavioral regulatory problems and is considered to be at risk for developmental disorders. We are supposed to be connecting up with a community consultant for OT and more preschool to help with the behavioral/maladaptive stuff with hopes that by kindergarton these will not persist in interfering with his learning. , almost 18mo. Possibly normal except for motor skills delays. He only says mama and nini, but has the whole language concept down. He is just unable to articulate speech. He varies pitch, volume, etc. He was slower to turn over, sit, walk, swallow food and everything else that involves muscle strength and coordination but he is hittin all the developmental markers in order, just slower with the motor skills ones. He has been evaled by a PT and we have had some consultation. He is being reevaled in January by the PT and an ST also. He is otherwise healthy and seems to be very bright. I love having a kid that shows me stuff and hugs me. Those baby hugs are just too great! Now at least you'll have an idea of who and what I'm referring too! LOL. Welcome.

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2001 Report Share Posted December 28, 2001 Welcome . I think there is a I haven't welcomed also. This is a very very good place for you guys to find. The support is unparralled (sp?). We have some folks here that are super net slueths with links for almost anything you need to read up on, and lots of folks here with lots of practical experience. I remember well the days of just beginning. I would suggest you read everything you can get your hands on. There are some very informative autism sites (I'm not the link master, ask) and some most excellent books as well. I also learned alot from NORD, National Order for Rare Diseases, it's a clearing house with tons of info, but I didn't have a computer then either. Autism comes in spectrum from very affected to mildly affected. One can be severely affected but with therapy and education overcome a great deal of the autism to function more on a mildly affected level. Never believe that your child can not achieve. The more you do, or help your child do, the younger you do it, the more he can do later. It's never to late to start and it's never to early. Be agressive for you child. Sounds like you started in an excellent school. Welcome again. , SAHM to a zoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 28, 2001 Report Share Posted December 28, 2001 Welcome to the list ! Yep - Autism can sure be different than most people believe, that's why some of us have so much trouble....People just don't get it. I didn't hear the word Autism associated with my daughter until she was 5 years old. 5 YEARS!!! So anyhow, you will love this list. People are great here. They will not judge you and you can say what you need to say. We will also try to help whenever we can.

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2001 Report Share Posted December 28, 2001 , Where do you live in New York. I live in Queens and my son 7 pddnos goes to a private school for autistic kids. What school does your son go to. is pddnos, thats why he doesnt seem to fit the " typical " description of autism (if there is really one). My son is affectionate too, he gets upset if you are paying attention to something other than him, and a few other things that dont quite fit the " classic " autism description. The thing about SSI is that you cant make more than so much money to qualify (50,ooo-I think). However, preschooler with a disability is the board of education term. You can get a neurologist to diagnos autism or pddnos (actually consider as pervasive developmental disorder). Wedlcome to the list.

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2001 Report Share Posted December 28, 2001 Welcome to the group . I am a stay at home mom, too. I have two older step children, Ebony who is four and autistic, and who is 8 months old. I live in Wisconsin, so I can't help you with specific New York questions, but as far as general autism information....read, read, read. Go to the library and get every book you can (current books only) and read up. There are many good books out there written by parents of autistic children that were very helpful to me. Good luck and I look forward to talking to you more.

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2001 Report Share Posted December 28, 2001 Hi ! I delayed having my older son tested because he didn't sound like any of the information I could find on autism 8 years ago. Now I can come up with a lot of stuff that sounds like my kids. They both loved to cuddle with us just like yours. At least since he was already in a special ed. program (early on) from infancy, he was already getting intervention for some of the behaviors he had. We have some members in New York, so maybe they can tell you how to apply for SSI, etc.. Glad you joined!

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2001 Report Share Posted December 28, 2001 < was never diagnoised with anything but he was in ELI till he was 3 for speech delays and cognitive problems. When we did live in Port Jervis there was no way on Gods green earth I could send him to school there. So we enrolled him in Trinity, which in the end I didn't want to send him. We moved last November to Otisville and I did enroll him in school, it lasted 2 weeks. It was a nightmare, he was crying at night saying he couldn't do the work. His teacher was a nightmare and I had to listen to her tell me that she has to teach for the 4th grade test and she didn't feel he would do well on it and needed to do another year of kindergaten. I gave in put him back in Kindergarten and was disgusted that a child who could do mulitiplication was learning to count to 5. I pulled him the following week. Minisink Valley has a good director of pupil services and they offer all the support I need. > > > 3 who attends a special preschool for PPD-NOS and other problems < > >does he go to Inspire or PLE?

Thank you I could use a good doctor recommendation. We are using Dr. Lee out of Port. He is horrible but does well in a pinch. We were seeing Dr. Smaltz but she left her port Jervis practice a year after was born and I really miss her. I wish I knew if she was still around the area or did she actually go to africa on missionary work like she was going to do. > > It will be 2 more months before we get to a neurologist. < > >what neurologist? kailey went to dr.fray in westchester, but hasn't needed >her for a few years now. It was a name of a group. I don't have the paperwork here but it's something neurology.

Thank you for another name of someone. We had a very nice women in our IEP meeting named Pat and I have called her about the bus service. PLE is exactly 6 miles from my house. I thought it would work to have take the bus but they wanted to pick him up at 8:30 which I thought was great but not drop him off till 3:15, which i thought was horrible. I do not want this child sitting on a bus for 1 15 mins. I asked for another route because a bus drives by my house daily at 8:40am and then again at 2:20 pm why couldn't he be on that bus. Globe transportation was not very accomdating so I'll be driving him till next fall when they redo the routes. Do you know where Otisville is? Most people don't even though we are close to Middletown. If you blink you drive right though it. I remember moving here when I was little thinking my mother and father took me to the middle of nowhere.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2001 Report Share Posted December 29, 2001 Hi - I am Meghan and I live in upstate NY. You can apply for SSI by calling your local Social Security office, or the 800 number... or you can get info on www.ssa.gov ... Noah was getting SSI for a few months until I got a job, then we didnt qualify anymore! (which sucks!) When you get ssi you are immediately eligible for medicaid, which is really cool, because it will help with DR bills. Of course once we lost SSI, lost that too! I am not sure what the income requirement is, but if you call, they will tell you. If your child has a diagnosis on the Autism spectrum, they would be eligible, as far as I know. If you dont qualify for SSI you can still qualify for NY states health insurance program Child Health Plus. Hope this helps! Good luck!

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2004 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 Hi Kim. Welcome to the group! This is a great bunch of people. There's always someone to listen to a vent, help with advice or lend a shoulder to cry on. It's so important that we not feel alone in our daily struggles with FMS and all that it brings. I look forward to getting to know you. Your very lucky to have found a good doctor and to have a good support system. Kathleen in NC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 My name is Jim , 26, single, and living in Flag City U.S.A. (Findlay, OH). I was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome in 2001. I have done research on AS, and have learned lots about Asperger's. I am a volunteer at our local drop-in center and an avid bowler. I attend church as often as possible. I am currently attending our local community college, majoring in Marketing and Sales Tech. I hope to graduate soon. Hope to hear from you all soon. God bless :-) Jim Currently Diagnosed w/Asperger's Syndrome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
