Conner has a sister that is 18 months younger.  I can defiently see the difference between the two.  I feel though that if Conner was the only child his therapy would'nt progress.  I feel that Morgan helps Conner to interact and show certain emotions.  They are the best of friends, now if I can only get them to share.  One thing thought that I am fearing right now is that I have been holding off on Morgan's MMR shot, only because no one knows what really causes autism but could of been a possibility of  what happen to Conner.  Any suggestions in regards to the vaccacines?

My son Conner was born on 9-11, he was my first child and my husband and I had so much love to give him.  As he got older we always said Conner was just a lazy baby, we didn't know what was norm, he was our first child.  Well, after 2 years had past, I recieved a call from my cousin, Conner's god-mother, she asked me questions about Conner.  She stated that she was researching some information on autism and didn't know how to put this and didn't want me to get upset, but she felt Conner had some-like sypmtoms of autism.  I was horrified that she called to tell me this, I was like how does she know what to look for, she isn't with Conner 24-7, but as upset as I was, I looked into it.  After researching myself and talking to other family members, I decided to take Conner in for a futher evaluation. 

 We visited with his pedetrician, who then referred us to get his hearing tested which was normals, so we then went an saw a speech therapist, who felt he didn't have austims.  We finally got in with the regional center and that was a sit and wait game.  Finally, once we were able to get an appointment for a evaluation they didn't do a thourough one cause we were soon to relocate to Southern California.  So, once again we waited.  Finally we were getting somewhere, all the information was transfered, but guess who's third birthday was around the corner.  Yes, Conner was turning three, this changed everything with the regional ctr.  So after we waited again, we finally got with a wonderful lady who rushed and took care of everything.   read more »
