[QUOTE="buddy, post: 502968, member: 12886"] That sounds like many kids we see and many I have seen in the schools.... on this site you will see that many of us find odd nothing more than a description of behavior. It is pretty useless, in my humble opinion ESPECIALLY for such a young child. (can be used to get services though....if you didn't have the autism diagnosis). But once you go to the schools, just a heads up that an odd diagnosis or suggestion could push her into an emotional/behavioral disorder track of education which while wonderful and appropriate for many kids with authentic EBD issues, for a child with neurological/developmental issues.... have them put her on an IEP for autism. Once you know your destination, if you are not living on base housing, and if you have a choice...you might want to research which school districts around there have better reps. for working with kids with autism. Does she have any school programming yet? I can totally relate to meltdowns.... at 15 my son still has them. We go thru stages though and it is not forever, I promise. (we have hit a growth spurt so that is why we have had an increase in them over the past months) How does she do with her communication? Can she play with other kids? Glad you at least get the Occupational Therapist (OT) help for now! that was a miracle for my son and we are actually starting again. big hugs to you with all those little ones. I can only imagine dealing with the meltdowns along with toddlers! WOW! [/QUOTE]
