My son's milestone
- Thread starter Jolie77
- Start date
YAY!!!! Jolie, I was unaware that your son was autistic.
It sounds like he's very affected. Are you going with a "whatever works" approach as to his treatment and education? You might want to look into "alternative" treatments, like the GF/CF diet, and other things like that.Have you been to DAN! doctors yet? Those could really really help him! (and yes, I know the debate in the autistic community about "nereodiversity", BUT I think when a kid is severely affected, its important to try to give them as many options as possible)

I'm so happy to hear the process of your son's school report from his teacher on his recognizing.
I remember my mother was telling me few weeks ago or a month ago. My niece
Sammie, she's speaking more now and doing well. I miss that little sweet girl. Someday I will see her if I am in Mass again

Thank You, Everyone for your radiant support and encouragement. I do realize that it is a start and it will still be a long progress. I am also aware that it is not out of the woods yet but in time, it seems to get there.
Thanks. Yes, This is a major breakthrough. With time, I hope it will be much more accomplished. I am not trying to set myself for a high hope but I am staying positive on this.
That is cool. Are you going to start working with the autistic boy? If so, How has the progress been? I would love to hear more of this and to share the inputs/feedbacks in order to get different perspective.
I see, and yes, It takes a step to get the ball rolling. This is a start and I am thankful for his teacher. She has been really exceptional and amazing. She has had a lot of patience working with my son.
I am working with the approach to try something different or anything new to see how it works and/or what fits for him. So, yeah, You could say I'm using the "whatever works" approach to find something out of it. Apparently the stencils worked for him, So I'm going to stick to that and to get him to write a lot more. It is a start.
I have heard of those DAN! Doctors but I haven't been to one yet. As for the dieting, He is not on a certain diet yet. My son is physically able to do anything and he is able to do a lot of hand/eye coordinations. He also knows how to count the numbers from 1 to 30 so far. I also do agree, It is imperative to give them as many options as possible to see whatever works.
It is the communication part that needs a lot of working. He is able to express his feelings. He will cry. He will get mad. He will laugh. Whenever he is really upset or gets mad, that is when he will try to bite me. If it's on a paper, that's fine with me as long as he is able to write. I have also been trying to get him to sign some words and he knows a little of them.
By the way, I will keep you guys updated on his progress and see how things goes. Once again, Thank You!

Hey that is wonderful news!!! i am happy for your son! That is indeed a milestone. I have been in your shoes before as my son was austitic when he was young and now is outgrow of it but he still have SPD (Sensory Processing Disorder) and development Delay. He had come a long way to where he is today. It take time! small steps to giant steps. Give that teacher pat on the back for good job! As always keep working with your son. You never know ...I am so happy for you!

Jolie, its those seemingly small acheivements that our children with autism have that make all the time, effort and patience worthwhile.
It sends goosebumps up your spine to see those achievements that occur so easily in non autistic children, yet for those with autism, its a huge step. I do understand. Our path with our own autistic child has been frustrating, but also we have much joy at times like this.
It sounds like you have a fantastic teacher/assistant working with your son - that is half the battle. Best wishes for future acheivements!

That's awesome jolie!
I'd look into the Gluten free casien free diet. It really has helped a lot of autistic kids, especially those on the higher end of the spectrum. The basis of it is basicly that autistic kids are so severely allergic to glueten and casien that it manifests as the really strange autistic behavoirs.

I wasn't aware you also do have an autistic child. How are you able to make a step with your autistic child to go further? Indeed, It takes everything to get there. Certainly, it is not out of the woods yet but at a point, we all have to think out of the box to get there one way or other.
Thanks for your advice, I will look into that. You have been a big help. Can you care to expand the idea of how gluten and casien affects autistic children in a way or other? What I mean is, How does it manifests their behaviors?
There are different variety of spectrums for autism. Not every autistic child are the same. They function on different levels. Some of them are mild, severe and a lot more to it.
To be able to get an idea of what autism is like, I'd recommend you to read the book "Unwritten Rules of Social Relationships" by Temple Grandin. The author, Temple, herself has autism. She also has wrote several other books which are also exceptional. Dr. Temple Grandin Books and Videos
