My Jenna was Born in 2003 and immediately i knew something was special about her. Born without a "Suck reflex" she was taught how to eat slowly. She was delayed in Gross motor and fine motor significantly not walking till 18 months old. At the age of 2 she would walk from the front of my house to the back for two+ hours and if you tried to stop her she would have a meltdown, Her food could not touch, and if she did not wanna be touched you knew it. I took Jenna to KKI for them to just say she has ADHD that she did have signs of PDD-NOS but because she gave eye contact and walked up to a person smiling she did not fit. The struggle to find where my Jennabug belongs has been a Long and hard fight. She is now 9 1/2 and her doctor says she is indeed on the spectrum. After being kicked out of 2 schools and being placed in a special program we are STILL fighting to get a complete diagnosis. She is a very loving and bright young lady smiles all the time and loves her two little brothers I wouldn't trade her for any other girl in the world.
