As I mentioned in yesterdays post I would post what I heard from the doctor. At little back story first. Hayden was a late start in his milestones He did do all the milestones up to the age of 6 months such as smile sit up roll over on to his back. He didn't start crawling til almost a year old and didn't walk til almost 18 months. By they age of two hardly ever spoke and when he did it was usually babble. So I got him into early intervention for his speech at the age of two. They taught him how to sign until he could start making some sounds other then babbling. His first word was mom at the age of 2 and a half. He didn't start fully talking like two-four words till a year later at almost 4. Around the Age of 4 they were starting to suspect that he had a form of Autism but they wanted to get him into kindergarten first and see how he did with other kids his age. Well kindergarten rolls around and they still suspected it along with ADHD so I got a refferal to a developmental pediatrician. I went to see him in December of 2011 and he said he was almost positive that Hayden wasn't autistic but needed to test him for it. So before I left the appointment he gave me some questionnaires for his teacher and myself to fill out and to fax them before the followup appointment today. Well according to the test results from the questionnaire He is diagnosing Hayden as a child who is not in the Autism Spectrum nor diagnosing him with ADHD. He wants to do one more followup appointment with the same questionnaire that he gave the teacher and myself to see if there is any changes in 3 months. But he is positive on his diagnoses. I asked him why he was showing signs of having ADHD and he says that some of the answers the teacher and myself answered on the questionnaire was pointing to SPD (Sensory Processing Disorder) and that the OT will diagnose him next month if he does have it. He also gave me a couple book ideas that I should read on about SPD.

Week 1 Down 51 to Go
I can't believe that we are already into the second week of 2012. I have all the photos for week one of Project 52 I just have to get it scrapped. Also my One Little Word is going excellent. It sure did test me this weekend as my son went to visit his dad. My ex doesn't contact me once the whole two weeks I have him before he gets him. But the second hes go him he blast my phone with text messages stating stuff such as; That his fingernails are too long and dirty. I stayed calm and told him that he had a bath the night before and his nails were clean. He is a boy who plays at recess at school. Then his fingernails were too long to my ex, well I don't believe that they should be cut down to the cuticle its not my fault you cant stand to see the whites of his fingernails. Then you are complaining that i am not looking for work. Dude you haven't worked in over a year yes I may have been getting child support but that was because you were getting unemployment but I haven't got any in over 5 months. Yes I am looking for a job but with our son having appointments with a developmental pediatrician, soon to be weekly speech therapy appointment's along with a sensory specialist. I do want to work but I also don't want to be working just for his daycare costs.
