About Me
I am a 29 year old mom of a newly diagnosed 3 year old named Gavin. My husband and myself are pretty new to all of this and needs some guidance from those who have gone through it or are still dealing with it.
Interests
My family and my friends. I love reading, though I never get the time. When I get the chance I love watching Grey's Anatomy and E.R. on Thursday nights, but that doesn't happen often. ( I really need to get TEVO!!)

Congrads on Gavin using the potty, big step. :) Is your son taking any meds? I wouldn't normally mention it, but my son was recently more than I could handle and he started meds and things have improved.
Hug
My 2 1/2 year daughter was just diagnosed in January 07 and we are new to all of this too. Slowly we are coming to accept all of it and realize that no matter what we do not love her any differently. Just know that we are all here for each other or we would have never signed up for this site. If you need to chat let me know.

Support Groups
Close Autism / Autism Spectrum
Gavin was just diagnosed with autism yesterday. We had our concerns by the time he was about 18 months when he wasn't showing any interest in wanting to communicate at all. We had used sign language from the time he was born because our oldest was learning it for our neice and nephew who are both profoundly deaf,it was a great 2nd language for them to have. Soon after that the behavioral problems started.
Treatments
- Early Intervention Too Soon to Tell
- We started with Early Steps when he was 2 1/2 and that is where we have been getting all of our help so far.
- Occupational Therapy Somewhat Helpful
- Through early steps Gavin is recieving OT and ST. We are seeing some progress but not as much as we were hoping for. But it has only been since November.
Close Parenting Preschoolers (3-5)
Our son Gavin is a soon to be 3 year old that was recently diagnosed with autism. We are trying to kep his life as normal as possible but some days are harder than others. He has severe behavioral issues which go with his disorder. He functions between a 12-18 month old level on most daily activities but his motor skills are age appropriate.
Treatments
- Education (School) Too Soon to Tell
- Gavin is recieving OT and ST and will be starting the speech and language program through our counties public school system.
- Patience Not Working
- Gavin is very strong willed and stubborn most of the time. Every form of discipline I try just doesn't work. It's like constantly beating your head against the wall.
