[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 367624, member: 1991"] Your next step, I feel, is to find a good Speech Pathologist and get a detailed assessment. You want them to test beyond merely finding what is normal, but to go into the fine detail. We have been lucky to find such therapist, she is also now one of my best friends. If you lived near us I would recommend you to see her. Always value the assessments, even the dud ones. They provide a record, a mental snapshot, of how your child presented at that time. Always of value, even years later. You could be lucky, there could be a great Speech Pathologist in your area. His results are very interesting, but only a start. For M right now - get him some Duplo or meccano. Look around op shops for it. Or what my Aspie nephew always wanted - a ball of string. Because with string, he could make anything he ever wanted. Or go to the beach and build in sand. Or dig in the garden, give him a dedicated space and some old kitchen utensils. Teach him how to make three-layered mud pies. Or get him cooking in the kitchen - muffins are good. So is pasta, or gnocchi. It's all good. I've finished radiation treatment now, I've got more time at home at last. Doing well. Don't worry about me, I'll be fine. Excellent prognosis. Marg [/QUOTE]
