He is enrolled in early childhood here in town, and is starting out in the autism class.  He recieves private speech and ot each once a week, and gets speech and ot in school.

  • I am Angela and I have 2 kids, ages 5 (Joanna) and 3 (Joshua), and I'm married. We live in Bloomington, IL. Both kids have been diagnosed with mild autism, although we think Josh just might be delayed. We are hoping to see an autism specialist who can run some tests and confirm some things for us and point us in the right direction.

  • Hi, new to the group, I live in Elmhurst, IL. I have a 13 year old son that was diagnosed 3 years ago as NVLD, PDD-NOS, ADHD, AND Sensory Integration Disorder. My challenges are trying to keep my son motivated with regards to homework and following rules.

  • Hello Everyone~

    My name is Stephanie and I'm the wife of a wonderful man named Chris and the mom of 2 amazing kids.  Our daughter is 21 and neurotypical, and our son is 10 and was diagnosed with classic autism at 3 years old.

    We live in a little town called Ottawa. It's about 95 miles southwest of Chicago. 

    I look forward to getting to know everyone here and am glad to be here!

    God bless you, your families and your week!!!

  • Hello Everyone,

    Although my kids do not have autism, my son was just diagnosed with ADHD and learning disabilities. My daughter has speech delay.

    I have started them on a nutritional supplement that in time will enhance their lives.  I have fibro and can say so far, my wellbeing has improved without that dreadful pain.

    I would like to share hope and knowledge there is a product that can help you and your child live a quality life.

  • Hello all. My name is Nancy, I am the wife to a wonderful husband named Wesley. I am also the mother to 3 wonderful children. KaliAnna is 5 almost 6 and she is a joy. Has a bit of a problem reading but thats it. Samantha is 2 almost 3 and she has a behovorial problem and we are working on getting help with that. And then there is Samuel, the doctors have said that there is a good strong 90% chance that he is autistic. We are currently going through evaluations to get a confirmed diagnosis. We are here to meet other families that we can relate to and that we can talk to.

    Hope to get to know some people that are close in the area....

    thanks,

    Nancy
