Autism Combined With Adhd
My son was born June 12,2000. He seemed like a normal little baby boy. My son had his feedings and everything just fine. When he was a year old his Father and I was wondering why he was not saying anything except for Mommy and Daddy. When he was 2 years old he still was not able to say much, so as any normal parent would be it was very concerning. At age 3 he said a few more words, but not much.
We had took him him on June 9,2004 3 days before his 4th birthday to have him tested to see what was wrong. That was the day we had wished for better news, but he was diagnosed with autism. He was functioning as a 17 month old. We knew from that point that we had a very hard road ahead of us. Well, that was not all. When he started Kindergarten we had to take him to a behavioral facility to be tested. At that point he was also diagnosed with Adhd combined with autism. He has a very big heart. He has went from making some I’s (Improving) to making straight A’s going into the second grade.
We are still working with him and always will work with him to help him improve on language and understanding. He is in an autistic unit at his school. He loves to draw and I am sure you may know who Blues Clues is well that is what he enjoys doing. We are still working on the potty training issue. I believe that has been the hardest part of it all. Right now they have him on a medicine in the morning and a medicine at night to have him go to sleep. If not he would not go to sleep. As of today, he is doing great and we are taking one day at a time.
