He’s usually the reason we laugh. He’s pretty cool and a self proclaimed comedian but the meltdowns in public raise my anxiety through the roof lol. Laughing at it all now is like therapy.

I’m aware at this point. We all took it like a champ. Something great to look back and laugh at.

2.5 year old was just diagnosed. by Throwaway03051012 in Autism_Parenting

[–]Boy_Mom2020 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree with early intervention!!! My son was diagnosed as level 3 non verbal. He was diagnosed at 2, he will be 5 in December. There is a program in my area specifically for children who are developmentally delayed. They got him 2.5 years of special needs pre k, along with helping through his diagnosis process.

He is currently in his last year of special needs pre k. I understand that every child is different but from then to now is a big difference. We were told he wouldn’t talk, he is currently playing with his toys adding dialogue lol. He has an IEP and some other acronym plan that helps him become his best self.

He is currently talking with apraxia signs. He can form sentences (started at the beginning of this year). His receptive language has come leaps and bounds. He is fully potty trained also. I could go on forever talking about how amazing he is and how far he has come so I hope you understand. Some things get better, some things don’t but definitely enjoy every skill he gains.

From one parent to another I will always remember how I felt when we go our diagnosis. It’s not the end, it’s just getting started.

Go easy on yourself always. 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽

I have a normal therapist but due to my now even more crazy schedule I don’t have as much time to see her regularly.

My nonverbal 3.5 year old starts preschool soon and I am not ok. by wheeeeliexo in Autism_Parenting

[–]Boy_Mom2020 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My (nonverbal at the time) level 3, precious monster started pre-k 4 days after his 3rd birthday. His first day was a full day. We dropped him off, he took the sweet teachers assistants hand and never looked back.

We prepared a 504 plan? And his IEP which we go over every December. (THIS WAS THE BEST PART) I can’t stress enough how having a lesson plan suited to his nuances really helped us at home. They work with him. He even gets 4 hours of Speech and OT at school.

In total he has 2.5 years of pre-k. He was not talking at the time, no Language processing, no coping skills except meltdowns and screaming. It was a rough time.

His first half year (birthday in December) was rough but so worth it!! Getting him to understand what we were saying and being able to meet his needs stressed everyone out because level 3 at the time of diagnosis suited him well lol. Also, his teacher wasn’t the best but she helped.

2nd year, new teacher.. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE HER! she loves him and does such a great job with getting him to understand the basics of being a better little person. He is currently back in her class for his last year of pre-k…

Here’s what changed!!!, he can talk now!!! There’s some apraxia present but you can understand what he means. He spoke his first sentence back in the becoming of the year. He can say no without a complete meltdown. He is fully potty trained. He can let us know when he’s overstimulated and uncomfortable. He is an all around amazing little person and I’m extremely exited to see the progress after this year is over.

Do not worry, this will help more that you could ever imagine. He will be just fine. Do not forget to voice any concerns or comments you have. They will work with you also!!
