[QUOTE="ShellTx, post: 531579, member: 14645"] Thank you so much!!! Midwest Mom, I am in the US and have considered going through the school system. However, my husband is afraid that if I get the school system involved, it will put a label on the kids that they'll never live down and that they'll never be allowed to be in a "normal class". Of course, I know that this isn't true, but he thinks that things are the same as they were 30 years ago when we were in school. So....I'm working on him. :-) I think mostly his still in a bit of denial about everything. I have an appointment. with our pediatrician on Tuesday to get the Occupational Therapist (OT) referral and I have appointments with the neuropsychologist on Wednesday for the initial meetings (both kids). I also found out that my insurance covers ABA, which is shocking considering how awful our insurance coverage is! Buddy, thank you so much for your reply. I've read it 3 times. :-) So much good info.! You got me thinking about whether he plays WITH other kids or just chases them, but plays beside him. He definitely doesn't play the same way other kids do, but he does play with them a little bit.....for a few minutes until he finds a favorite toy and then goes off by himself. He'll drive a dump truck in the dirt for an hour or two. He participates in imaginitive play at home, but it's usually something that his twin sister has come up with and is instructing him to do. They both go to a regular church preschool and have friends there. He's not shy, but definitely not super social. I'm keeping an eye on my 2 year old, but so far I haven't seen any worrisome signs. He is SO different than my older 2 were are at the same age. He actually responds to discipline, which is something completely new to me! :-) Thanks for everything! Glad I found this board! [/QUOTE]
