Thank you so much for your replies, it really calms me down. I will try to teach her the difference between right and wrong. Or at least to be happy with her hobbies and family. And to always try to make good choices.  |

| I was told to be aware once my daughter hits middle school, she will be bullied at school, and would be used as a "mule" . That teenagers with As or Aspies will do ANYTHING just to be part of a group. Is this true? Someone also suggested to castare my daughter once she becomes a teenager.OMG ! |

| My daughter loved to play with the t.v wires. She also walked on her toes. She flapped her arms watching the ceiling fan. She only skipped one milestone. She never pointed to an object. She is 30 months an barely speaks. |

| It's suppose to be better than ABA behavioral therapy. Well we just signed a contract for 6 months where only the parents are trained and the child is only seen once at the office by the therapist. I like that they will train us. |

| My son only had 3 words when he started speech therapy at age 24 months. 1 real word and 2 made-up ones. He's 9 and a complete chatterbox now. I think it's a good sign that she has 6 understandable words. Do you observe her speech sessions? I sat in on my son's and I used the same techniques to hel... |

Feel blessed, for our county currently has NO speech therapist available through Early Intervention, so I am doing all of it myself with the help of books, sign language and the internet. But... |
