About Me
I'm 28 years old.Married with 4 children. My youngest son is Trey and he was diagnosed with Autism at the age of 3.He is currently in school and receiving OT as well as Speech full time.I put on a brave face for my husband and children, but secretly I am having a difficult time dealing with this disorder.I love my son with all of my heart, and my biggest fear is that he doesn't know it. My husband is in denial so I don't get much support from him. Which is what brought me to this sight.
Interests
Watching movies, cooking, decorating, playing with children

Support Groups
Close Autism / Autism Spectrum
I realized that Trey had some speech delay around 16 months. His PCP recommended a specialist. It took us 11 months for them to make an appt. It took an add'l 6 months for the appt to arrive. After many testings and meetings, therapist agreed that he had "traits" of autism.At 3 he started school.Shortly after his 4th birthday he was formally dx w/autism.I found this site because I realize that I need emotional support when I found myself unable to speek with my husband about the disorder.
Treatments
- ABA Considering
- Not sure what ABA means.
- Behavior Management Somewhat Helpful
- When Trey screams. We tell him that we are not going to listen to him we are leaving. He usually calms down when he thinks that we are not paying much attention.
- Independent Living Skills Working / Worked
- In the morning I make Trey go to the bathroom. Brush his teeth on his own. I hand his shirt and pants to him for him to put on by himself. Shoes and socks as well.
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- He runs and plays everyday either at school or in the yard at home.
- Picture / Word Schedules Working / Worked
- Right now we only use pictures that are in books. Soon we will begin to use picuture of things around the house.
