God is not finished with us yet

As of yesterday we have found out that God is not finished with us yet. Why? We had a Doctors apt. and they want us to get Cayden tested for "high functioning" autism. What more can we take? First he dies on us at birth when we find out he had a stroke before he was even born. Then we find out that because of the stroke he has the symptoms of ADHD, OCD, and ODD. He is having attitude problems but some seem normal for a 5 yr old. Now they think he has Autism!!!!! They are thinking that they misdiagnosed him when they said that he was developmentally delayed because he is supposed to be able to play with others and interact with others but he still refuses. I took him to an old classmate of his and he wouldnt even play with him. He is using these children he knows as "props". He has no friends and he doesnt really care. I have a friend who has and autistic child and she told me two yrs ago that he was showing signs of being autistic but when I talked to his neurologist he said that he was too outgoing to be autistic but he really isnt really what you call outgoing. He looks like it but he doesnt get too personal and he doesnt talk to others longer than a lil while and we thought that was due to his ADHD. Now we dont know what we are looking at. I am glad God entrusted me to care for such a special child but come on now I am not that trustworthy for this special of a boy!!!!!!!! PLEASE NOTHING MORE WRONG WITH THIS CHILD!!!!!!

Dyan, you have so much love in your heart for Cayden and i am sure that is what will get you through. I know this is a hard diagnosis to take in but here I know there are special schools and a lot of support for parents so go out and seee what you can find in the way of support to help you through.

 

Your Cayden is special, he is a fighter and will be somehow manage to get what he needs out of life, never fear.

Dyan,

You have been given such a wonderful child. Yes, he does have lots of diagnoses. He needs alot of extra patience and time and love.

 

He is so fortunate that you are able to give that to him.

 

I pray that you will have the energy to keep up the work necessary to keep him going. you are doing a wonderful job.

with a correct diagnosis, now correct interventions can be taken-- and he can have the help he needs -- the intervention for adhd is way different than autisim- so this could be progress in actuality..hang in there hopefully we will all see better days..nancyl

Dyan: I am so sorry, but I sure do hope you watched 60 minutes tonight. After the piece on Steve Jobs, they did the Ipad and Autism and after that piece, a Doctor who is doing brain mapping of language centers - mainly the wiring - and the difference between a normal brain and an Autistic one is amazing. If you missed it I hope you have the ability to play it again through your cable system.

 

I pray that there is some definitive answers for you and your family. Your little guy has suffered so much and for you and your family I pray for some help. Please do let us know, Debbie
