My son, Kaleb, was diagnosed when he was 4 with Autism. before we sought the testing's we figured he was only a late bloomer. as it goes I was military and we didn't have may friends with kids so I assumed that was why he didn't speak. at the first day of preschool they started testing. after a week he was moved to another school that could help him. he doesn't do well when there are a lot of people around. Kaleb is now in kindergarten and is moving to a 4th school since he started last year. he grew aggressive this year and now my arms and legs are lined with scars from his meltdowns, therapy hasn't helped. we give him melatonin to sleep at night as do many of our current friends with kids. kaleb now has several friends in his age range, since we moved back to our hometown. all of the children have some kind of disorder or disability so it has been easier on all of us, as we understand the stress. when we plan trips out it is like we are planning war... I just wanted to share this because many out there may feel that they are all alone in this and no one understands. I do...
Kaleb is an Artist, athletic, video gamer, who loves books puzzles, and just about everything but food. he hates clothes and has no problem going nude. didn't potty train until 5years old. and eats only 4 things...
