[QUOTE="1905, post: 500622, member: 2668"] Some parents are in total denial, even as as their 5-year-old child is is placed in a classroom with autistic children, and their child is even low-functioning in there. If easy child did agree with you right this minute, is there something she could change for him, like maybe services, or Occupational Therapist (OT), PT...something tangible that can be done? If not, let her be in denial, she just can't function with all the extra what if's, and worrying. She figures she'll cross that bridge if she comes to it. Maybe when a dr. tells her, or when she see's more signs than just a slower developing person. You know something. You do know it. If something can be fixed or changed, gather information and push her to take it to the dr. If it's nothing that can be fixed, gather information anyway, she wil need it. Write down names of conditions, find doctors who specialize in them, just to have- you don't have to give them to her. Don't force anything on her. She grew up with Travis, she knows. If he's not in danger, love that baby like she does and let her be in denial. Maybe you can go with her to a check-up and pick the doctors brain with her standing there. [/QUOTE]
