welcome aboard the rollercoaster super mumma (im breaking down your name cause its just to darn long )
my 2YO has just been diagnosed with aspies and my 8YO has autism. Both are driving me completely BARNY tonight.
the 8YO due to 2 girls at school teasing him and the 2YO cause he is sick and has a temp.
Im thinking of becoming an attraction at the zoo....cause the sounds coming out of my mouth atm are just to animal like...blllahhhhhhhhh
I thought I was losing it when I couldn't get into here - I actually thought it was just my laptop being a brat.
Hope you are all well and that your lil ones are behaving as well as they can
The new latest thing here is the highest pitch squeal/scream all day!
I have an earache and a major headache today
Tomorrow is our first appointment with OT (we saw one 12 months ago for his hypotonia - low muscle tone) this one evidently is a paed one which is great!
She said after our joint OT/Speechy/Physio app last fortnight that she feels he definately has some sort of sensory deficiency..
Time will tell
*here's a strong glass of whatever alcohol you need to get you thru til bedtime***
Hi ladies! Rather than remake the whole thread I had before I figured I can just jump on in here until we have a dx.
I think I am really having one of those breakdown moments though. Every tiny cute thing that bunny does, I am questioning it! We used to giggle that she was a complete fashionista. She only likes pink and white clothes, and whenever we go shopping, she adds another fuzzy soft faux fur piece of clothing to her wardrobe. Now I am wondering if it is a sensory thing. Its only soft subtle pinks - nothing bright and gaudy. And the fuzzy clothes are all so soft, but she loves them to pieces. For the record, she picks her own clothes. We hold it up and she either pushes it away or grabs it and puts it on her lap.
We went to the shopping centre in Lismore today, stopped for lunch, and she is sat in the food court with her hands over her ears. She is only a 5th percentile baby, so very small, and she is making milestones fine and does the cutest things. I feel like such a cow questioning all her actions now. =( Thinking its just the paranoia setting in.
Princess seems to be doing better. I had to speak to the DoE about Chilly the other day because the enrolment process was dragging on into the ridiculous (6 weeks!!!) and I needed someone to light a fire under their backsides. While we were on the phone we spoke at lengths about princess as well and the lady said while it is not ideal, we can use the botched IQ test to get immediate assistance pending her dx. She implied the mild intellectual disability result from the test can get us a bucket load of help and will be updated to ASD (if she is ASD) when the full raft of testing is finished.
So ladies... should I do it? Should I use this test that I know is a complete joke? I am concerned because I don't want to risk labeling princess as intellectually disabled if she isn't, iykwim... The idea of getting her immediate help is so appealing though. Ugh! Why do I always get stuck with the crappy decisions???
Bunny is little and doesn't like loud noise. End of story. She sounds exactly like my Betty Boo (fashionista plus!) who did the same thing at the same age. Maybe you could say she is ahead in the fashion-awareness milestone .
Actually I'm not little and have trouble with the noise and lighting at big shopping centres.
Whats the deal with Chillys enrolment???
Errmmm, just quietly...the lady is right. Princess will get lots more help if she is considered intellectually impaired and I learnt today that once you have the funding you have it for 5 years (although it may vary from state to state) - ALTHOUGH you might want to double check because language has to be affected now, when before an ASD dx got you funding straight away. I suppose this chick would probably know for sure though - it sounds like she does the funding applications yeah?
