THE WARNING SIGNS

Lets Face it...

No Parent wants to hear the word "AUTISM"...

But in case you are a Curious... let's go over the RED FLAGS:

*Non verbal or verbal regression
*Has melt downs during transitions
*Odd movements/gestrues that fascinate them
*Not developing normal play w/ toys
*Repetitive/ obsessive behaviors
*Lack of Eye contact
*Lack of response to own name
*HIGH pain threshold

With our son... our 1st sign was after his 12 month shots...

Foster was saying 10 -12 words & then went mute!!!
We were devastated .. got his hearing checked.. fine & got tubes in ears , for his constant ear infections.. still NO change!!

I was helped by another mom whom I came to w/ questions... My angel " Julie".
Her son is a year older than Foster, so she was a year ahead of me... the BEST BLESSING TO OUR LONGEST JOURNEY!!!

We got Foster Diagnosed @ 18 months ( he will be three this month)
And BOY HAVE WE COME A LONG WAY ...

Come along w/ us.......
