    • Close Autism / Autism Spectrum

      My 4yr old,Matthew was diagnosed with moderate autism @22mos. I knew it before the docs and started signing and pecs at around 16mos. I was concerned about him @ 6mos but no one believed me. Had to fight for his diagnosis to start E.I. services. Even though I knew in my heart he had Autsim, the day of the diagnosis I came home and lay on my belly on my bedroom floor and cried the most heart wrenching cry of my life and prayed for God to give me strength and hope.
