[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 312784, member: 1233"] Welcome!! Sorry if things have been a little slow here on Early Childhood. You may also want to post on the General forum. MWM has a lot of great info. She is far more informed on this than I am. I would say that there is a LOT about the brain that we don't know. Just because an MRI at 1 didn't catch anything doesn't mean that there won't be something caught in the future. Often our children don't get the right diagnosis until after several years of therapy and treatment. At one point I was told that it takes approx 7 YEARS to find the right diagnosis. I think this is a low estimate and that it can take a lot longer. It all depends on the docs. The one thing to remember is that YOU are the expert on your child. Docs can be the experts in their fields of study, but that is different. If your instincts say something is wrong then keep after it until you are satisfied. The big mistakes all happened when I ignored my instincts and went along with things. Hugs! [/QUOTE]
