It all began after her 18 month needles when our lives quickly turned around. This sweet girl went from meeting all mile stones, waving, speaking words, walking, eye contact to severe fit of pain, stumbling, crawling, non verbal, no eye contact and just being a stranger in her own world with no connection to the world. After several appt's of them telling me it was a virus, a flu... I kept on being persistent saying something happened what is going on with my angel. Everyone who knew her well knew that she was just not the same, something dramatic did in fact happen to her. After months of testing and heartaches of not getting a solid answer she was finally diagnosed with Autism. She has now been getting one on one therapy, 20 hours a week since May 2013 (6 months) and she is starting to be the sweet angel she once was, her eye contact is back, her waving, pointing, and we are hearing words now. When you speak to her now she understands. She is still behind and most likely will always be but because my family and I knew there was something wrong we never gave up and she is now going to receive therapy till she starts kindergarden at 5 years old. We are grateful to have such a happy girl, but you just don't know what can happen to your child from one day to the next, be thankful and never take anything for granted. She is a tough one and will fight this till the end. Mommy, daddy and brother too! We love you Chloe Bella xoxoxo
