My son Dominic is 6 years old we knew something was wrong when he didn't sleep for 8 days when he was 18 months old .Also he wasn't hitting the milstones like he 7 year old brother was. We took him to university of Michigan and he was diagnosed with servere autism. So I took it to are early on specialist and they fought with me that it was wrong diagnosis and that is pretty much how the last 4 years have been with him no matter what paper or diagnosis I have the special services in my area say that its something else. It has been a constant fight to get any services for him I have ended up paying for speech therapy out of my own pocket. But now he is talking in an normal kindergarten with an aide . We still have are struggles we always will but he can tell me what's wrong now. He has showed me patience be on what I thought I had. I love him and wouldn't change him for nothing. Just remember if you won't fight for your child no one else will!!
