[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 591641, member: 84"] I might have asked before...................but on the chance that I haven't..........I will ask. Is there any history or any remote chance of history of a brain injury with kiddo? Was there any birth trauma? Anything from fetal heart tones dropping with contractions to oxygen deprivation? (despite was OBs tend to assure patients, it does not take much to cause brain injury to a fetus/newborn) Travis is genetically predispositioned for autism, it's a strong family trait. However, docs are fairly sure he'd had a much milder version (which is common in the family) but that the brain injury resulting from birth trauma might have made the condition more severe, as well as adding in a mix of a lot of other issues that otherwise didn't make sense. Travis was diagnosed with static ecephalopathy at 14, it is the term used for cerebral palsy that is diagnosed later in life because they can't necessarily prove beyond a doubt it was caused by birth trauma. Travis' CP is not severe but there are issues a trained eye can spot rather quickly. The stroke at 18 didn't help much either, but lead us to an addition cause to the birth trauma in addition to an OB that was an idiot. Many of the behaviors in your posts about kiddo remind me of a brain injured person/child. Has she ever had an MRI done? Just thought I'd toss that out there because 1. it might explain some things you've had questions about and 2. there would be most likely different services available to her if that is the case that you could look into.
