[QUOTE="buddy, post: 475128, member: 12886"] I'm sorry for the grief that you feel but am glad for the relief. When my difficult child was diagnosis officially in the medical community with autism, I was actually working at a child develoment center specializing in autism. Imagine, for two years I didn't refer him there. they have a mental health out early childhood program right next to the autism day program. I asked them to do an evaluation for behavior ideas. The two teams (Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) and Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)) did the evaluation together and said, yes, we know about the abi and the attachment stuff, but he fully meets criteria for autism and for now anyway, this seems to be driving most of the challenges...sensory stuff/communication issues that are not typical ABI or Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD). I worked there and I was so shocked and sad. That confirmation just hurt. i think I thought if it was the other two it was still early enough in the process that there could be much more recovery. Not that Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) doesn't make progress but that it is for sure a permanent disability. I had always said autistic-like but my mommyheart didn't want to really call it that, but he entered the program and actually worked with both sides and I was really so relieved in the end. SO, yes, it does make sense to me for sure. Huge hugs....it is a good thing to know, but it is a sad thing too. [/QUOTE]
