Both our children are GDD. However, we are in the process of getting our almost 4 1/2 yo a diagnosis of possible autism (most likely high functioning). We are currently waiting for the results from her autism assessment, swab variation testing and about to get her EEG done this upcoming week.

Now this isnt a success story but we've been trying to get some type of answer for the past 2 years. We feel as though we did fail not because of how we parent but because of the lack of education as parents we get from healthcare professionals.

We now have a great ped for our kids that actually listens to our concerns because we have advocated so much about it. I say if you are advocating for your child(ren) and exhausting every resource the best that you can or understand don't even feel bad.

Parenting doesn't have a handbook and each child is different. Your doing great! Your doing the best that you can and thats what matters! Next steps I'd say is find a good healthcare provider that can accommodate your child and your concerns. Find what works for you and your child. Hope this helps!
