My older one has a lot of speech/language issues and autism was on the radar at one point, but autism is no longer on the radar, but he will likely have some sort of "language based learning disability." I am also a NICU nurse. I blog as well. I think you still follow me. Anyway glad to see you back.

I love the thumbs up in the last picture.<br />One challenge I find with not having the usual milestones is forgetting that my son may be ready to another achievement. I get used to doing things for him and don't give him the opportunity to practice new skills independently. I know this is all about me and not about some shortcoming in my son: I'm the one is impatient or doesn't see that there may be another way to do something. <br />Thanks for sharing this story. It's the kick in the pants I need to be a better parent.

It seems they get it, they agree to it, and then they forget the massive impact any stuff up is for these kids.<br /><br />I think alarm bells, warning lights and big booming announcements now go off in the education department when I am in Madmother mode.

If it's not a good situation, you'll get him out of it. I wish there were better programs for our kids. My son is in what they call a cooperative kindergarten, where there's a mix of typical and special needs kids and a regular education teacher and special education teacher all in the same class but suprise suprise, they don't offer any sort of program like that after kindergarten so I'm very worried about what will happen after this year. Inclusion is KEY for him, in fact from all of the research I've done, it seems to be key for many kids like him. So yeah, I'm already anxious about a year from now. I was the only parent who was crying at preschool graduation because here were all these other kids and parents so much hope, everything just beginning, and me knowing I'd have to fight like hell just to give my son any kind of chance in life.
