Little smoke please

You got it. No child (or family) should have to have things like this happen. I have no problem talking to the Big Fella for your son and your family.
 
Looking back, I'd guess that our first son was probably mildly autistic, which translated into ferocious powers of concentration in his case. Many super-achievers throughout history were probably autistic. Our son just received his PhD at age 32. Seems to me that a normal phenomenon is now perceived as an affliction, so I don't know how much credibility I'd give the 'experts'.
 
Smoke sent from Toronto, Riley. I'm sorry to hear about this, and I sincerely hope for the best possible outcome.

All the best,

- Mike

I've heard very little of insurance and child treatment, if it's mild it shouldn't be too bad, but there's no way you should have to pay out of pocket for any treatments or tests. I don't want to pry, and I'm sure someone's brought it up, but I'd double check insurance and check your state programs, often states will pay for or help pay for instructors etc.

I've got two wee ones of my own, so I won't tell you that it's no big deal, we all want our kids to have perfectly normal lives.

Riley,

Get this book: "Parenting a Child With Sensory Processing Disorder". I have a son the exact same way - and my wife teaches these kids.

This is NO BIG DEAL - just more work - and makes the child unique. I am up for a chat ANY TIME on this. Trust me - this is a cool thing overall. It makes the child really cool and fun.

Honestly fella's this is nothing to be sorry for. Especially if it is mild - he or she will just have quirks. My son is SUPER smart - he is just anxious, has a billion questions, is easy to rile, needs to have things fairly quiet and has odd things he obsesses about - but it just makes him, over all, VERY unique and a ton of fun.

smoke and prayers. Hope all goes well. I guess it's some small comfort that at least your family has a diagnosis and there is a path that will eventually be laid out in front of you.
 
Smoke and prayers sent from San Diego, John. Having three sons, I have some understanding of how you're feeling right now. Hang tough, Bro, and you'll get through it.

Wishing you all the best.

aahhh.. sorry to hear that John...:( smoke sent your way bro... drop me a line if you need anything....:thumbup:
 
John, I'm sorry to hear about this new development! I certainly will keep you and your family in my prayers!

At the beginning of June, my 4 yo daughter was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes...talk about a shocker! Throws a guy for a loop.

It's gonna take some time to get used to your "new normal", so try to relax a bit. Things will be alright...different.. but alright. It took me a month before I could stop worrying as much and the knots in my stomach went away. I pray that yours go away much sooner! If ya need to chat about it, you know where to find me! :thumbup: -Matt-
 
Hey John, smoke and prayers sent your way brother.
My niece is autistic and knowing what my sis went through I understand your angst.
Hang in there and if there is anything I can do please let me know.
