It is simply amazing to me how many families are struggling with this. So often we feel alone in our desires to help our children. I would relish a forum to learn and grow with those that understand what you are experiencing. :-) I was just commenting how the tools I use with my son are so necessary as a classroom teacher and find it works for all children, all levels in my classroom as well.

He also has Down syndrome, and many of his delays related to DS are (in the dev. ped's words) "checkmated" by his autistic behaviors. It IS a rough road and we are still reeling from being told to focus on him as being a child with autism, vs a child with Down syndrome. Talk about a shift in the universe... Thanks for having such a great blog with so much positive energy! If it weren't for being creative and seeing the results of work well done, I would probably have a harder time dealing...Surrounding our home with fun and creativity is therapy itself.

Glad to hear you were encouraged by so many readers out there - I find the easiest and hardest thing to do is share something so personal with strangers - but take note - we are thinking of you. Before I had the little ones I taught children under the Autism Spectrum of Disorders - it was so rewarding and there really has been some great gains in research. Keep you head up and heart strong.

Our household is half K-state, half KU fans and I cracked up to see this! I just wanted to say I love the t-shirts in the picture!

Since his problems are not so obvious to the outside world (a lot of sensory stuff), I was thinking of posting on my blog a list of his not so obvious "warning signs" that were there from the beginning in hopes that it would benefit someone and maybe get a child into early intervention sooner. I keep a lot to myself but maybe you have motivated me to open up!!! In case I did not mention it on my original comment, my son is 4 and has been diagnosed with PDD-NOS.

One huge topic that I would love to get help with is discipline since it is our hardest battle at this time. Nothing seems to matter!!!
