My son Gabe (3-1/2, will be 4 in October) had his psychiatric evaluation yesterday and we were finally told that he is indeed autistic. As a first intervention, the psychologist recommended 25 hours per week of a special preschool for autistic children. He told me he didn't place any stock in...

I'd like to start reading some kind of introductory book about autism...my suspicion from looking around on some websites is that my Gabe may have mild autism or related disorder. Any really awesome book I should start with that helped you? I'd love to know! Thanks :)

Hello...I'm not exactly a newbie to CF but it's my first time on this thread. It's been so encouraging to scroll down through the threads and read some of your stories. My son Gabriel is 3-1/2 and is just starting this whole testing process. We started out thinking he might need speech therapy...

I took a 14-wk. course locally pre-kids, then went to work at a local hospital for 6 mos...after that I transferred to a transcription company locally and am now able to work from home. Independent contracting pays much better, but it's hard to find a doctor who doesn't use a big company like...

Yeah I absolutely agree...not sure if society really has gotten that much worse to be fearful of or if we are just more fearful because we are more informed/aware of what's going on because of increased access to media than they had years ago... My children are small (2&3) so of course they...

My boys are 2-1/2 and 3-1/2. They are expected to stay on their beds (after bedtime stories and songs and prayer). Loveys are usually the only toys allowed. Sometimes I allow a book if it helps my littlest one to stay in bed (he doesn't have a lovey :() . He looks at it until he's tired or it's...

8:00...the magical hour...:sleep:

Mmmm, it all sounds good right now...I've been drinking lots of ice water. That helps. I think I'll start making an egg and cheese thingy on a whole-wheat English muffin...Mmm. Haven't had one of those in ages. Maybe that would get me going. Thanks for the suggestions! :D

Congrats, Momma! :thumbsup: Cute name!

The smell of little boys' heads...hope that doesn't gross anyone out!

I'm a WAHM, though the work part is strictly out of necessity; I can't wait for the day I'm a full-time mama again. I don't miss working outside the home at all. I'm not very social by nature, so that makes it very easy to love staying home. I work as a medical transcriptionist from home on my...

I'm a pretty dedicated a.m. coffee drinker (about 2 cups) when I'm not pregnant...but with my 1st and this one, the smell and taste just make me wanna...y'know. And it's killing me. I just feel like I can't move, can't think, can't wake up until noon or so. SO, are there any foods in particular...

Ditto. Silverstein is the master of the goofy poem :thumbsup: There are lots of samples online. Here's one I found: The Loser from the book "Where the Sidewalk Ends" (1974) Mama said I'd lose my head if it wasn't fastened on. Today I guess it wasn't 'cause while playing with my cousin it fell...

Beth, I haven't been in the Pregnancy forum long and I don't have the guts to wade through 59 pages, so I'll just ask: Are you keeping it a surprise or do you just have a little stinker who won't let you see?

Congratulations! I pray your little man can come home soon. He does look like a big boy!

Thank you, Anonymous Giver, for the early maternity shirt :hug: :cool: I just noticed my shorts getting a little snug this week...but then again, that could be the Dunkin' Donuts factor...:blush:

My due date is January 20, 2008...I'd love to be on the list :D

Just thought I'd pop in and say hello :wave: I'm just about 8 weeks w/ babe #3, due in January 2008...it seems so far away! Ahh! It helps that I loved being pregnant w/ the first two, though. Anyway, looking forward to sharing in your experiences. I plan on bfing and cloth diapering this time...

I would say yes, if it is for the benefit to my husband and family, but absolutely not if it would take priority over managing my home...that is my 'official' job and I love it. Also wanted to mention another 'real person' who had a home-based biz...our Proverbs 31 momma: "She makes linen...

I was at walk-in care w/ my 2 year old yesterday, not with the flu but with chickenpox and a viral illness. As it turns out, kids can still catch chickenpox after having been vaccinated for it....so the point was?
