Autism Mom

 :) I have to admit, I was overwhelmed, stressed and was binge eating, ignoring a lot and needed help. Thanks to my hubby, he was there for me. Little by little I decided to attend ABA therapies, ask questions, do something too independently. As there were no free places with best physical therapy instructor, I decided to do whatever I could by simply repeating whatever I could understand. As Nick was trying to be possessive, he wanted to be on my hands all of the time. So I started using stairs, so that he would walk as much as possible.  After couple of months with ABA, I understood that it is not the type of therapy my son would use for his growth, so we kept searching for alternatives and found Floor time and started attending twice a week :) (we had ABA just 4 hours a week). As soon as we started Floor time, Aba began showing more and more results. Coincidence? no! 

Hello :) My name is Sally and I am an Autism mom. I was 30 when I married and was soon pregnant with my first child. Pregnancy was ok, plus I sat home and could sleep and rest as much as I deemed neccesary. With all my anxiety, my gin had to make extra tests and echoscopy to make sure that all was fine. When at last Nick was born, he was almost fine, although his sleep habits were exhausting, no routine could change it .... also swallowing seemed to be a problem....  At his first week of life we already went to the Neurologist, who said that everything was ok.... I remember how he slept for 3-4 hours of uninterrupted sleep and it was as late as on thr 6th month of his life.... the problem with the sleep persisted... Specialist seemed ok with that... swallowing seemed to be better, but even at the age of 2 he could choke on water... alarming right?....  At last I decided to visit Psychotherapist who said that it could possibly be Asd... at least I knew what it was :) by this ti...
