Hello Everyone. My name is Lynn I'm 35 years old mother of two Kids

Tre who is 15 and Lauryn who is 7. Lauryn was dx'ed with AS at age of

6. She is bright little girl. and inspite of everything she has

overcome so much. I knew something was wrong with her when she was 6

months old. she made no sound. no blabbing .. nothing I talked to

her doctor and her told me not to worry. by the time she was 1 years

old no verbal sounds but blabbing. The doctor still was not worried.

But I went ovr his head and paid for a speech elev. the findings were

major speech dely, at 14 months she started speech ther. she improved

so well she was able to go to an special ed class where she took off.

After that she was able to go to reg pre-k class. where a new set of

problems set in. Her meltdowns, Her obes. with pink, (she wore

nothing but pink for almost 2 years) She she was tested for ADHD by

the school and my own personal Psych doctor. When the test show no

ADD or ADHD, we went to AS as an possible. But We waited till she was

older. 2 years later and 1st grade we got the dx'ed of AS. we were

parpared for this. But with working with her teachers both reg and

special ed, She learned coping skills, some social skills. But I'm

pround to say we start school Aug 7 and Lauryn will be in Reg ed

classes all day. She still see her Psych doc. (she also has OCD) but

we are doing ok...

Sorry I hope I did not bore you guys.. I hope to meet and speak with

you all soon,

Lynn
