What a strange journey it is to get the diagnoses you need, and want! I guess we don't qualify as "2E", because we homeschool, but we will claim it anyway.<BR/><BR/>BethKeeslermomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00346431440867437806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3493812953406211165.post-83473803276452279262009-03-14T20:44:00.000-05:002009-03-14T20:44:00.000-05:00Kelly--Keep watching over here.

I'm waiting until after our appointment to put information out on this site...but it might have some great info for you. I want to experience the process before telling everyone, but that's a sneak peek for Fri. or Sat.<BR/><BR/>I'll post my findings because we're learning that these 2E kids (and autistic kids) are over-sensitive to medications and to other things that 'normal' people tolerate. We tend to medicate them when they actually have different needs than us...it's so hard to figure out what is needed and what isn't!<BR/><BR/>I'm so thankful that your son has such a caring mom that is going the extra mile for him!!!!<BR/><BR/>RobynCoolestmommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04742283544000495664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3493812953406211165.post-43605369714086179212009-03-14T17:41:00.000-05:002009-03-14T17:41:00.000-05:00Thank you Robyn.You know how tough it is. Some day...Thank you Robyn.<BR/>You know how tough it is. Some days I used to wake up sick in the stomach on a school day not knowing what would be the next hurdle to deal with. It's better at this new school but he is still having problems and doctors are pushing to medicate. I am holding out but I can't help thinking would it be better for him if I did?<BR/><BR/>Some days he is fantastic to be around but other days it's a nightmare. That said he is such a smart little boy and he makes me giggle at some of the things he comes out with. So we are just hanging in and hoping all these specialists are worth the money lol.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your prayers and mine go out to you as well. Us mums of amazing children have to stick together!!<BR/><BR/>Kelly Ethankellyethanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00570244895417827191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3493812953406211165.post-75259445401463737602009-03-13T20:49:00.000-05:002009-03-13T20:49:00.000-05:00Kelly,I am so living where you're at!!

We don't have as much aggression at our house, but we have lots of tears... everyday... both Nathan and I cry. My heart breaks for you on the days when all you can do is cry out your frustration. <BR/><BR/>I'll be praying for you. I'm also going to try to put a little of what I've learned up in a post that might help strategize for you. <BR/><BR/>If you ever need to talk more, my email is on the sidebar of the blog. I'm not always the fastest to respond, but I will.<BR/><BR/>I guess my 'gold nugget' to give you today is to remember in the midst of the worst days that our joys in parenting are that much more significant because of the lows we've been through. <BR/><BR/>Praying for you and your family. I also thank you and your husband for his service to our country. It means a lot to me to know we have men and women who will serve our country. God bless you all!!Coolestmommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04742283544000495664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3493812953406211165.post-42249294800161799902009-03-13T17:47:00.000-05:002009-03-13T17:47:00.000-05:00Cheryl is on one of my writing lists and I hopped ...Cheryl is on one of my writing lists and I hopped over her when she posted. I know how you feel. Your story felt like a window into my soul. <BR/><BR/>My son is 6, in his second year of school. We move every two years with the army and he has just started at a new school.<BR/><BR/>He has Pervasive Development Disorder not otherwise stated. HIgh anxiety and senory problems and ADHD and probably Oppositional defiance disorder. Basically on the Austism Spectrum. Our home is like a battlefield, he likes his school but hates the work, he can't read and hates writing with a PASSION. He's left handed too which doesn't help. He's such a smart little boy but so angry sometimes, we don't have any crying or clinging issues but we have ALOT OF AGGRESSION. <BR/><BR/>After seeing specialists it is better but we still struggle every single day. I don't work anymore outside of the home and we live right across from the school so I can go in and help when its bad. <BR/><BR/>But it's really HARD and some days I just want to cry non stop. It's like I have a different child to boy I had at 2. BUt I see sparks of such a beautiful smart little boy that it keeps me positive.<BR/><BR/>I hope that people see your blog and start to share because it truly is helpful!!!!<BR/><BR/>Kellykellyethanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00570244895417827191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3493812953406211165.post-12903753087314758622009-03-12T11:24:00.000-05:002009-03-12T11:24:00.000-05:00I putting out the word for you!I putting out the word for you!Cheryl St.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00947267011326863581noreply@blogger.com
