we just had our meeting with Early intervention. THey redid the MCHAT and Raym scored NO critical things!!!! None of them think Autism just looking at him and the PT thinks hes got low tone and some of the communication issues may be more from something else and suggest an MRI. Thinking there may be an alternative diagnosis.
Im torn on wether to search for an alternative diagnosis because then raym may loose his ABA therapy which is helping, but I dont want a misdiagnosis or to hinder him having a certain label.
Tracy that is wonderful news but I would be worried about him losing services too. Do they think he is not on the spectrum on at all anymore??? Lucas is not autistic he has PDD, which is on the spectrum (I know you know this, I'm just putting it all out here) as is Aspergers and technically so is straight autism.

They are not able to diagnose as you know, but they want to at least look more into a neurological problem to this (that is easily seen by mri) like brain damage or cerebral palsy since he really no longer hits anything on the MCHAT.
When he little the carseat hit the ground while walking to our car . He didnt hit the ground but as a baby I guess its possible that could have caused a delay. IDK.

Well I am praying you get all the answers you need and that he gets all the help he deserves (((hugs)))
I reminded Joe about his promise to use the name Leah and he said Chloe Leah may work. When I said I thought we weren't gonna use Chloe because of it's popularity he said what about Hannah??
So our kid could possibly end up named Hannah Leah(he did not know that you had a hannah, actually I am sure he did but that is not why he said it). would that make the coolest friend ever??? I think that would at least justify you coming to visit LOL
Sara, I understand. I had one of those days too. Seemed like I kept getting hit from all sides and was so overwhelmed and ready to lose it.
I am hoping to god Ethan is asleep and not just plotting to come out. He has had an accident the last 3 nights and I am so over washing his bedding and comforter, especially since it requires quarters and I'm out. And I just want one restful night of sleep.
(And I feel horrible saying this but I'm so glad tomorrow is EJ's night so I can just sit on the couch and do nothing.)

Uhm.
You can stfu.
If that happens, not only will I visit, but I may come catch this child when she comes flying out of your vag.
You know, if I can get to the airport from the 13 feet of snow we're likely to have, anyways.
