[QUOTE="Liahona, post: 608857"] We took difficult child 2 to the autism specialist for testing to shut up our pediatrician who had been hounding us for a year that he was autistic. We were shocked. Getting him tested wouldn't hurt. You don't have to tell anyone the results if you don't want to, and it might help your peace of mind. My 2 year old also has a speech delay. I got him tested for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). The results were inconclusive. I still don't know if its a speech delay or a speech delay because of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). The medications on the other hand might hurt him. I'm saying this and I have lots of my kids on medications. I am not against medications. I do believe you have to completely agree with it before hand. My kids can not function without medications. If I could take them off the medications and change my parenting to get the desired functionality I would in a heart beat. Your 5 year old daughter reminds me of my 5 year old daughter! I started teaching her to read last year and it was like pouring water into a sieve. I think she has a learning disability. We didn't give up on reading. Though I did have to come up with creative ways of teaching her and I have to shorten the lessons. Her brain gets tired. I know she knows the sound to "s", but if she can pull it out of her brain at the exact moment I'm testing her is doubtful. It depends on what else has been going on, if it is early in the morning or in the afternoon, if she has eaten, if it is at the end of the lesson or beginning, ect... With your daughter a good sp ed teacher might be very beneficial to her. The creative teaching isn't something a general ed teacher can do in a classroom of 20-30 kids. By the way, my daughter has finally started to catch on to reading, but we are still going slow. [/QUOTE]
