A Very Special Episode.....

As I think all of you know, Sean does not talk. He has been in speech therapy for almost a year now with very little progress. He had also been waiting that whole year for a consult with a child psychologist. He finally got in to see the psychologist and her diagnosis is Autism Spectrum Disorder, with Sean falling in the middle of the spectrum.

Of course we are not happy about the diagnosis but we aren't really surprised, either. There are only so many times you can jokingly say "that kid ain't right" before you begin to suspect that something really isn't right.

Now that we have the diagnosis, it's time to get busy. Sean will be starting all kinds of new therapy and after the first of the year, he starts in a developmental preschool. Since this blog was invaluable in pinpointing when Sean met certain milestones and when he started to regress, I will be making a new blog to track his therapy and (hopefully) progress. Feel free to peek in and see how he is coming along.
