[QUOTE="Janna, post: 19592, member: 2737"] Love the story, Sheila. Remembering back to when Dylan was in kindergarten, first, even 2nd grade - standing at the tree at recess, alone, singing to himself, friendless, makes me sad. Today, he's the friendliest in the class. The teacher reports him as being willing to go on a limb to help the other kids, wanting to teach, wanting to be friends. MY KID? [img]:smile:[/img] I was lucky enough to have good interventions for him. I do think the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) therapies helped, i.e. speech, social skills classes, Occupational Therapist (OT), the TSS in school. I think, without those, he wouldn't be the same child he is now. I also believe the interventions are extremely important, for any child with an emotional problem, but especially for the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) stuff, where medications really don't help. I'm getting a real enjoyment out of seeing so much positive Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) info lately. Dylan isn't the same kid he was a few years ago, either, and it's great. Janna [/QUOTE]
