[QUOTE="30 and searching, post: 218544, member: 6367"] I have to see that show! My mom and my cousin have also said they saw a show with- a family who has 6 autistic children. Unfortunately I do not have Discovery channel, cuz we don't have cable. Too expensive for our budget. I hope to get this ball rolling soon, to set up an appointment with- our 3- year old's pediatrician. Spoke with- husband, we'll have to see if we can get one on a Saturday, ( he works days, mon- fri... and he would like to be there, and I want him there too!) Thanks for the link SRL, very helpful. I hope the pediatrician is onboard with- our concerns, and will give a refferal. Midwest mom, your son made honor roll, that is awesome! I'm glad he is doing so well with- his academics! My little guy knows all his colors, shapes, some opposites, he can count to ten... sometimes twenty but not consistently. He knows what numbers are, but cannot look at the number 9 for example, and know it is the number 9. He has trouble identifying letters as well. Although if his name is written on paper, he knows it's his name, and will say it. I will talk to his teachers about working on social skills, I agree, he could definately use some work in that area. His teacher did tell me at conference that he's got a friend in the class, so that is cool. I asked if he was hyper like our guy was, and she said no, he's a mellow kid. Wow. I've noticed in general, our boy does not really talk to other kids his age very much at all... seems to prefer talking to adults more... which I've also read is common for some kids with- autism. He does like to play along side other kids, and imitate them sometimes, but is also extremely content in doing his own thing. My hubby wants computer time... but later tonight I hope to post a link to some new autism research I found to be quite interesting. Hope everyone is doing well, and thankyou all for the suggestions, and support!:happy: [/QUOTE]
