A little update on

[Guest guest]

Hey everyone, I had origionally posted a post about having concerns that

might be having seziures, but after having posted that and then having

watched him more closely during one of his " episodes " , I have determined that I

probably over reacted. When he got that way, i could get down in the floor to

check out his face and he would turn his head and look at me. Today when I

called his name he looked up and said mommy. I guess he was just overloaded

sensory wise or he's stimming like another mom mentioned. I'm still going to

bring it up to his Dev Ped when we go on the 8th. I didn't get to take him to

the regular Ped today and the only other time I can take him is the 22nd of

March. I'm not as really freaked out about it as I was before so I'm ok with

this. Also, I had his PPCD teacher fill out her questionaire and I was really

surprised with the answers. I was expecting them to be totally different from

mine, but they were pretty much along the same lines as what I put. I

noticed that there were a few things that she put he did it more often than I

did and then there were some where she put that he did it less often then what I

had put on my paper. She said that she never saw him flap his hands though, but

I have seen that at home and out at town on several occasions, but I'm just

relieved I guess that there wasn't such a huge difference in our two reports.

I'm sure that you have all read the posts about what type of person my mother

is, so my next question to you all is should I tell her if they do give him a

diagnoses, or just tell only the people that are supportive? Thanks again

everyone.

Rose,

My mother is one of those people that are adamant that it could not be autism

because he's " sooo smart and he remembers the signs we teach him. " She thinks

everything that is going on with is strictly because I am a lousy parent.

She even told me one time that loving him and being there for him wasn't enough.

She also thinks that everything would be solved if I just " busted his butt more

often " . I can't do anything right in her eyes and she tells me pretty much every

day in some way or another that I'm a bad mother and that she could do things so

much better. She gets mad at me because I don't want to do things the same way

that she did with me and my sisters. She thinks because she did raise 4 kids

that that makes her an expert and that all kids are the same so they should all

be raised this way. She ultimatly thinks children should be seen and not heard.

That's the opinion I get after seeing the way she acts with . So that's

the basics on my mom since you didn't get

to read the other posts.

Hi

Just writing to say " What a relief it's not seizures! " . I'm glad all went

well & I hope it continues to go well with you both. My opinion, I would only

tell the people that would be supportive for you and your son. Then maybe

later, when everything is complete, your well rested & comfortable with

everything. That might be a better time to let her know. (I didn't get to read

about concerns with your mother). but keep the strength! and things will get

better. Best wishes with your son's eval.

OH YES! I do remember that. That was a while ago. Right now, you do have

your hands & mind full. trying to convince her of anything will just completely

drain you!!! you need to " keep the strength " eat well, take vitamins for you

(Mom)! be near positive people that support you and don't try to convince her

right now. (maybe later) when things slow down, & you know more about your son.

Regardless who it is, your mom, friend, anyone who doesn't support you will

" emotional " drain you! Because you are seeking advice & help for your son makes

you a wounderful & caring mom. Keep up the good work. You are doing a great

job raising your son. Keep us posted with his eval. When a person is

controlling, I don't think you can convience them of anything! so, don't try

at this time, maybe later, much later if you feel the need too. Good luck to

you both - Rose
