Guest guest Posted December 28, 2001 Report Share Posted December 28, 2001 Hi Rhonda welcome to the group. I also have to welcome and any other new ones. This is a great group and I hope you find it worth while. Rhonda know that you are in R.I. if you ever come over to Canada please feel free to stop by and meet. I am just 15 minutes from the boarder and would love to meet you. Lori New to the list here Hello everyone My name is Rhonda.. and I live in Long Island NY. I just joined the list this morning, and have since been thumbing through some posts here. I am 27..married- stay at home mom to my 7 year old son Tommy (autistic/PDD) and my 4 year old (going on 25) daughter na (typical raging 4 year old that knows everything..lol) We (my husband and myself) are both prior military.. so I have quite the long resume of dealing with doctors, schools, therapists etc from all over. Tommy was diagnosed at 2 1/2 in Southern California, and we just moved from NH to NY this past summer. THANK GOODNESS we are done with the military! I think the moving around so much has really delayed Tommy more than anything. ANyhow.. long story short.. I just wanted to introduce myself here.. as well as get to know everyone else. We have tried various methods for Tommy.. from ABA (succesfull when you have an ABA instructor that is qualified), behavior therapy (successfull to a point), sensory integration (greatly successful- however, i think we have gone as far as we can get with that), dietary (successful, however again, i think we have sucked the success out of that as well), and supplemental (trial and error didnt work for us). As you can see, we have quite the open mind about things. Currently, TOmmy's behaviors are similar to walking on thin ice..lol We are a bit on a standstill on things due to his schooling situation. He is currently homeschooled until appropriate (legal) placement can be agreed upon. His agression has us looking into meds to control his anxiety. Whats next right?..lol Thank goodness I was blessed with a good sense of humor, and and high tolerance and lots of patients.. and a positive outlook. All of us for that matter.. otherwise, how else would we all get through this right? Thanks for taking the time to read my.. novel!..lol Sorry for the length. Take care Rhonda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My daughter, Ebony, is four and autistic. My son in 8 months old. I also do in-home day care. We, too, have tried a lot of different things...some have worked to help and some haven't.

And to all of the other new people who have joined the list in the past month...Welcome to you also. I have been a little flaky about posting lately (almost non-existant) & very little time to get near my computer so, I'm very sorry if I missed your intro's & didn't say hi. I'm glad you've all found this wonderful list & hope it helps all of you. Tracey mom to: 4 & Brynn 9mos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
