Guest guest Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Best wishes to her for a fast recovery! My 'neurotypical' child (I don't know if that fits, actually..she's not on the spectrum, but she has seizure disorder..it's my 6 yos that is considered high-functioning autistic) had her tonsils/adenoids taken out almost a year ago and has felt and slept so much better. No more snoring, and better quality sleep. Her speech even changed, and she'd had two years of therapy to get her Rs out right as she had dysarthric speech. Anyway, the recovery went really well, and we were prepared for worse. She had no bleeding or scab issues, the worst was the sore-throat pain. We of course worried too about it causing more seizures, but she went 7.5 mths after the surgery without any at all! Longest period of time we'd had, we thought we'd beaten it. The surgery was a huge help for her. She's still got problems -- sphenoid sinus fluid, another CT scan on 1/29, and daily antibiotics. Possible outpatient procedure to fix the sinus (deviated septum, too) but we'll see. It's so much for a 12 yo to deal with, but she's a trooper!

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 I never thought of bedwetting as another sympton of Aspergers but seems many have the same problem. Interesting. My daughter, HFA, doesn't nor hasn't in the past had a bedwetting problem. My son, Aspie, has and still does have a bedwetting problem. He has about the same dry nights as wet. About the only thing I've been doing to help him is let him have a drink of water an hour before bed, have him use the potty just before getting into bed, and wake him to use the bathroom again before husband and I go to bed about midnight. He does real well those nights, and not so much when I don't. I need to be more consistant with this routine. My bad. ~Claudette > > After reading this I have a question is bed wetting another symptom of Aspergers? > > still has accidents and he won't stay the night anywhere!

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 My son never slept throught the night, usually in the kitchen to get something to eat, yet he was still wetting the bed at 11 yr old. We tried everything, medication, ect. but couldn't understand why he would wet the bed when he was getting up once or twice a night and coming to the kitchen. During his testing, the doctor pointed out that since he has a terrible time with decision making he probably couldn't make the decision to get out of bed and go to the bathroom. He has been on Adderall XL for a couple of months and hasn't wet the bed once. I think that he is able to think clearer now. Of course, now we have trouble getting him to sleep, but once he is asleep he sleeps all night now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Actually, no -- high functioning autism is different from Asperger's. And I'm aware that 'straight' autism is different from 'high-functioning' autism, but they are both different degrees of autism and are both on the autism spectrum. Both are autism.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 I don't remember seeing anyone say there were just five types of autism -- did I miss something? For now, HFA is just a label of a level of autism, and Asperger's is a different diagnosis on the spectrum. Until/if the DSM change is official, doctors all over use the terms in their own way -- some say they are interchangeable, others say they are entirely separate, with the key difference being when the child learned to speak, e.g. was there a speech delay or not? In our case, my son's speech was delayed, not typical with an Asperger's diagnosis. I use high-functioning because my son is extremely verbal but has all the rest of the earmarks from a 'regular' (hate that word) autism diagnosis, and for me, using the term 'high-functioning' helps those who are responsible for working with him be prepared. Rett's is an actual genetic disorder, yes? I wonder if that's where they make the distinction to separate it? That's interesting.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Yeah, definitely -- they are, and it'll be interesting to see the end result, however long it takes. Here in California, at least as far as Regional Centers and a lot of the doctors go, they are still entirely separate. A regional center diagnosis is huge in getting services outside of the school, and a 'wrong' diagnosis can hurt what the kids get in school. Honestly though, until it's separate in the DSM, I think we're all going to see different doctors who use the terms however they like. One of my most favorite doctors, who has since passed away, thought they were the same but other doctors we see are very careful about the term autism and say 'high-functioning' all the time, saving 'autism' for the non-verbal kids..I think for some it's a personal thing, they hate to 'stigmatize' a child. Personally, the labels don't matter to me -- what matters is that my son gets the services he needs, and sadly labels drive services. That Parent's Guide book is excellent, btw!

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 The insurance thing, a whole new ballpark! I look at it like the whole spectrum of a rainbow -- if you're red, orange, yellow, blue, etc., it doesn't matter, you're still in the spectrum of the rainbow. (It helps to have a pretty explanation at times when you're dealing with someone completely in the dark about autism, and that's about as flowery as I get LOL) Donna wrote: > > See...

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 I can relate! Ds has days that are much better than others. It all depends on what time of day someone else would see him, and on a good day, a day where things are going really well, you'd probably just think he's spoiled or tired...but we don't have a lot of those days yet.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 I agree with you Donna. My son too doesn't really fit the label of aspergers, he has a major speech delay, has no problems with gross motor skills, etc... He fits better with the diagnosis of HFA, ASD is a spectrum disorder and I would put my son somewhere in the middle of the specrtum, he certainly isn't AS. Beck Re: ( ) How much sleep?

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 In order to make HFA and AS the same diagnosis they would need to relax the current criteria for AS to include kids with speech delay, kids without gross motor problems etc. The whole DSM needs a work over in the area of Autism. There was talk also of just dropping the diagnosis of AS and going back to just Autism, some people being higher functioing than others. I personally would like to see that happen.
