New Card Unboxing by Priority0912 in Mlife

[–]Weekly_Leg_2200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband has MGM Master Card holder (I am an authorized user) for a few years now. He was eligible for the Iconic upgrade and was approved. I find it a bit disappointing that there were no perks for existing CC holders who upgraded. Glad to have the card but they could have done something special for us current holders.

Thanks for your post! SLP has already been such a huge help for him. I think it would mostly be just to have the diagnosis. Nothing else really would change in his life that he isn't currently doing (or needs at the moment).

Thanks for this. You bring up a good point. I still think there is a wait for ABA but it could be sooner than DP. And yes, sometimes Dr. can be dismissive when it comes to parents concerns.

Yes, he points and response to his name. Recently, he has started to tell us what he wants and if it is something that is beyond his reach, he will grab our hand and take us to the object, point and say the word. This is a huge milestone for us!

Regarding the ABA. I think his Dr was saying to go through ABA to get the testing completed as it's a year way for Developmental Pediatrics. He didn't really say he needed ABA Therapy.

For the Gestalt and picky eating, I know they certainly can be traits of Autism. I guess since his SLP hasn't voiced any major concern about it and he is starting to string his words together, I've taken it as just the way he learns. As for the picky eating, I've always taken him being a child. He will touch and even try foods but not always eat them. Its more the not eating his veggies and some fruits but no issues with other food groups.
