Guest guest Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Hello everyone! My name is and I just found your group last night. My daughter (18 months old) will be evualuated on the 23rd for autism. She was talking and then stopped suddenly at about 12 months old. I never really thought much about it because I hoped she would start talking again. She understands so much and is quite good at communicating with me nonverbally. We have our own language of communication, if that makes sense? I am at the begninning of research into the types of autism & I had no idea there were so many variances. I am feeling a bit overwhelmed by all of this and what it may mean for my baby. I have read about the rage exhibited during times of frustration. So much is sadly making sense to me now... Anyway, I appreciate the opportunity to learn and be a part of this support group. I guess I am confused, knowledge thirsty for more information on the subject, sad and unsure of the future...

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 , welcome to the group. I have a broken foot, so I have been a little 'couch ' bound and active this week, but you will find this a wonderful place to ask for help and just listen sometimes. As you may be able to see if you can catch up with the posts, we have some active and sometimes heated discussions. Don't ever let any of these get to you. I think generally we all want whats best, and sometimes we don't all say the right things. (Being an Aspie, I sometimes say things I wished I hadn't) but each touchy topic is something that makes it so that we have to talk, and I personally think that is good! Enjoy the group > > Hello everyone! > > My name is and I just found your group last night. My daughter > (18 months old) will be evualuated on the 23rd for autism.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 Hi, and welcome. You will learn alot here. It really depends on what kind of autism you are dealing with. In any case, you have to put on your seat belt and hold your baby close. It's not always an easy ride, but you have come to a good place for knowledge and support.
