Subject: Autism Author: Erin Grashoff [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 08:27:00 10/09/07 Tue Kelly, I heard you talking about Emma Kelly & her delays this morning. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE..Do not ignore the possiblity & do not take her to your regular pediatrican for these concerns. I am a mother of a beautiful 3 year old autistic boy, we wasted so much valuable time with his pediatrican, we got all the wrong answers from him, although they are what we wanted to hear...Boys develop slower than girls, blah, blah, blah...Take her to a developmental peditrican in your area TODAY! These people are trained to recognize the signs & early intervention is the key , no matter what the diagnosis. If you bring her and the developmental pediatrican doesn't think she has autistic qualities, then GREAT, you can sleep better at night and not be frightened of the what if! they can still put you on the right track to help her develop the skills that she may be lacking & if she is does have autism Then I will not lie to you, its devastating, YOU WILL GRIEVE, I still do BUT the truth is this...YOU HAVE TO REALIZE THAT SHE MAY BE AUTISTIC BUT SHE IS STILL YOUR DAUGHTER & SHE IS STILL YOUR BEAUTIFUL LITTLE GIRL, NO MATTER WHAT, Emma Kelly is still right there, You are not doing yourself or her any justice by putting this off, please, please DO NOt wait any longer...take her to a developmental pediatrican right away ....
