Trust your gut. You're only letting him down if you willfully ignore that there's a problem.
Now that we've got my son on ADHD medication that works for him, I see a world of difference. And if there is something not neurotypical he's dealing with, having a diagnosis goes a long way in getting help he might need.
Thank you. I learned after my marriage to trust my gut and that is what I'm doing. And XH agrees that there is something else going on, more than just "typical toddler". Even is the eval says he doesn't have it, I'm hoping it can point us in the right direction.
I'm glad XH agrees with you! Mine thought I was being over reactive for a while, as did our old pediatrician, and once we had an ASD diagnosis, it was like so many things fell into place. We didn't do the ADHD diagnosis till DS started kindergarten just so we didn't have a lot of muddied waters and we had a lot of stuff to pull from as far as his teachers' input and shit. Honestly, not knowing was the hardest part of all of it. At least now when we have a really hard afternoon together, I understand why, you know? Hugs. It will be okay! And DS has improved greatly with all of the therapies he's been able to get.
"This prick is asking for someone here to bring him to task Somebody give me some dirt on this vacuous mass so we can at last unmask him I'll pull the trigger on it, someone load the gun and cock it While we were all watching, he got Washington in his pocket."

Thanks. This helps me a lot I figured if he does get the Aspergers diagnosis, I would contact you for advice, if that is ok? And the other ladies on this board with a similar path.

It's fine! You may have to go through Children's to get the actual diagnosis (at least we did), but they are super helpful and offer a ton of community support classes and I've been to like 90% of them.

We do. The pedi is sending them the referral and we are to wait for them to contact us. I'm told it could be up to 6 months before we get to the eval point. I've already contact the ADHD center and got started on the eval process for that.

That's what they told us as well. I think we sent the referral over in early March and were seen for the eval in June and got the results in early July, if that helps.

It does. Originally I was going to wait till the 4th birthday checkup to bring it up but when I heard 6 months, I wanted to start it today.

Hopefully they get you in sooner! If you haven't already, check out the Kelly O'Leary FB page (Their ASD treatment center) - there is a mailing list you can get on to get updated on the classes. You don't need to have a kid with an official diagnosis to attend one, if you think the info will pertain to you.

My right eye has been red for weeks now, off and on - at first I thought it was a combination of allergies and a burst blood vessel, but now it is burning more and more, and even with drops it stays red. I think I need to get to the doctor

Do you wear contacts? My eyes hurt really bad for awhile were always red, itchy and uncomfortable. I learned I grew an allergy to the contacts I was wearing.

Do you watch Orphan Black...because I have a brilliant joke that will make exactly zero sense if you don't

Yep, time to get to the doctor. I'm sorry gaultipoo.
Adam and Eve has great customer service! The cord broke on my magic wand, which I've had for over a year (I swear I've only used it a handful of times since it's too noisy to use when the kids are around), and they're replacing it for me for free!! I feel like my hilarious email to them helped
