I try to think about now and the very tiny gains he is making. But you don't always have control over your mind. It wanders in to the what if and why.Strandedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16819973077683697310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3683123430440896906.post-30809658706459408972009-04-18T17:03:00.000-04:002009-04-18T17:03:00.000-04:00i can relate with this one, though with my daughte...i can relate with this one, though with my daughter she went 'downhill' between 18 months and 2. i too have looked back at pictures and videos when she seemed so 'normal.' it was happening slowly, and insidiously. Hindsight is always 20-20, and sometimes youre totally blindsided. its such a huge spectrum too that its just hard to compare and contrast 'typical' to 'non-typical' behaviors and tease apart what is what. <br /><br />Good luck with the DAN doctors/protocols!Alicia Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06244714478310893367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3683123430440896906.post-83273429883690956622009-04-16T09:35:00.000-04:002009-04-16T09:35:00.000-04:00We love Sam and Maya.

As the weather improves we hope to do more park outings with them.<br /><br />I still love the time we were visiting and Sam just jumped into my lap to play. He really is a great kid and we hope for more progress in the future.<br /><br />- Amitai and RebeccaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01500316533038618554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3683123430440896906.post-32760116650775337202009-04-16T07:10:00.000-04:002009-04-16T07:10:00.000-04:00Wow.

I even have a neurotypical daughter who is now making me question EVERYTHING when it comes to his development. Sigh. I look back at videos of Max and see symptoms of ASD from about 8 months on. But you are right, there was a lot of NT behaviour that made us hope that he was just a late talker and perhaps a bit odd. I try not to beat myself up about it, wishing we had pushed for a diagnosis earlier, but some days I really question myself.Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02509305523940634182noreply@blogger.com
