SRL,
Thank you for those site links. I read through each quickly, will go over them more carefully tomorrow. Jayme has many of the symptoms of WS, but also not some as well. She is extremely bright, understands everything, but has issues with speech. She is learning 2-3 word sentences now at a more rapid pace since she has been involved in the Special Education preschool.
She is extremely introverted with those she does not know well. She is very shy with adults. She might still be too young for this part of the disease??? She is very good with fine motor skills but very delayed in large motor skills. She does have hypersensitivity to many sounds, covers her ears and says "too loud" alot.
She started out, when she was first placed with us at 4 mos. of age, being "failure to thrive", extreme feeding issues for about a month. But working with a nurse daily, she overcame that and has not had any issues with eating ever since.
She is not toilet trained, is very resistent to the whole idea, but we keep trying.
I will print out those articles and take them to the pediatrician on her next visit. Jayme did have genetic testing for Fragile X, Prader Willi's and Down Syndrome, all were normal.
pediatrician has not ruled out Jayme from being on the Autistic Spectrum. If she is, she is high functioning.
Anyways, thanks so much for responding and providing the links!
Hugs,
Vickie
