I wish him much love and support. Unfortunately, our son didn't get diagnosed until age 5 so we were and have been unable to get any help with the services he needs so he goes without much of what he so desperately needs. We do what we can for him though. If you ever need to talk or chat or just vent. You know where to find me. :) Hugs <em>Nan's last blog post..<a href='http://themommycircle.com/a-home-business-with-the-benefits-of-a-paycheck/' rel="nofollow">A Home Business with the Benefits of a Paycheck</a></em> You are so lucky you were wise enough to see all of this at a very young age for your son and because he is so young you can get him the help he needs.

After all, a label does nothing to help him. Getting him the services he needs is a far better tactic. As a former special education teacher, I want to remind you that YOU are the expert on your child. As you go forward you have every right to agree or disagree with the "experts" and choose the path you find most appropriate for you child. I know it must be overwhelming to even have to go through this, but you are a strong smart lady and your son is lucky to have you. ((hugs mama))

(And, I agree 100% on the labeling thing.) I'm sure you'll see your son will outgrow a lot of this, especially with the therapy. I'm proud of you for being so determined to get him the help he needs. And, he's very lucky to have such a wonderful mommy. ((hugs)) Nik Nell, that is the most wonderful news, and I am so glad that you're going to get the help that you'd hoped for.

My 5 year old has Autism and my 3 year old is in the evaluation period (but the writing is on the wall). Praise God he got approved for the services he needs! Early intervention is soooo important, and you are getting him that. I know how stressful and scary and just plain sucky this whole process can be. I'll be thinking of you guys and praying for you as well. `Arianne I've been through what you are going through, and still am.

I remember going through something similar with my own son (7 yrs ago) like it was yesterday. They were never able to tell me why, or even exactly what, and it caused me many sleepless nights. You're doing all the right things, and he is such a beautiful child. And you probably already know this... but challenges are a blessing. Embrace it. He's fortunate to have a mother like you!
