One of our fellow Mamas needs our collective wisdom: I wanted to share my story with you just to try and get a little insight! Im reaching! As no one in my family & no one I know has any children with autism. My son developed completely normal until about 18 months. He was waking at 9 months, taking 10-15 words by one. At about 18 months we noticed him losing his speech abilities. He had lots of colds, bronchitis and ear infections which led all of our pedis to believe it was just a speech delay. Now at 3-1/2 he says no words. He attends a special ed preschool and we have an appointment on Thursday with a developmental specialist. Do you know what I can expect? Will we get an exact diagnosis or is this the beginning of a long set of appointments b4 answers?! His teachers are sure hes on the spectrum, has OCD, ADHD AND also sensory disorder. I can tell you from all the research I have done they are right! I just want an official diagnosis so we know where to go from here Thanks so much for listening. I am so new to all this and I just want my son to have the best chances to learn to his potential and live the best life I can provide for him.
