Currently she is diagnosed with Aspergers, OCD, Social Anxiety Disorder and ADHD. We also experienced a HUGE regression this year. We lost almost 3 years worth of work almost instantly. We moved and that was all it took :( Praying that things will improve for your sweet one again. We were in the process of trying to adopt when her meltdowns became too much. She can be violent when she gets in this mode, and we felt it best to not bring another child in just yet. I feel it might over load this exhausted mom. I have been through all of it... the screaming for hours at night.... my sweet daughter used to only sleep about 2 hours a night... starting at just 5 months old :(Jaclyn Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05028565353593886797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6500056789639670612.post-34576115415358092212011-08-23T18:18:05.137-07:002011-08-23T18:18:05.137-07:00~Great post~ We are challenged in our family with...~Great post~ We are challenged in our family with RAD, Anxiety Disorder, and PTSD.

She was getting intensive services, but it was slow going. I couldn't help but cry when you wrote about praying that you wouldn't detach from her and vice versa. I prayed the same. Many days were soooo hard!! She is now 6 and doing fabulous!! We have our set backs, but she is an incredibly brave girl and a blessing to our family! It is such a misunderstood dx for so many of our kids.

I have little ones who are all effected in different ways by out of whack sensory issues. When my first daughter was little, as a first time mom, I was totally overhwelmed with her huge meltdowns that lasted ridiculously long over things like hair washing and baths. I just thought I was a horrible mom...a few kids and other random quirks later we decided we needed to get this figured out. I had no idea that if the sensory issues are genetic (which my kids are looking back through the family) they can come with a whole pot of other linked issues as well. We've got the alphabet soup with ADD, ADHD, SPD, Tourettes,Dyslexia and a first cousin with ASD. They are all so linked and so often overlap it's tricky to figure out sometimes! And it's often isolating as a parent. Keeps life interesting. I have noticed too that major changes (or sometimes even minor ones) can set things off. Thanks for giving SPD a voice.Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14317610661817876605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6500056789639670612.post-13724156858238896382011-08-23T10:51:16.638-07:002011-08-23T10:51:16.638-07:00Thank you so much for sharing this.

My sweet little one has been seeing Marilee for a year now, and the improvements have been so great that I have been contimplating taking her off program. I think we will stick with it for a while longer. It is difficult to stick with the program sometimes, but these exercises Marilee prescribes really do help as well as the supplements from ChemBalance, way beyond coincidence. Christina has far fewer meltdowns now, and when she does have them, she is better at expressing her needs. She will come up and tell me that her cousins' noise is getting to her instead of just screaming at them or crying uncontrollably. Sometimes she needs an actual break, and other times all she needs is some earplugs. I am so grateful to see her progress and to watch her confidence grow. We owe it in part to your courage to share. Thanks again for the huge blessing you have been to our family, and particularly my little effervescent wonder.AnotherPreciousJewelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08165081943828889818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6500056789639670612.post-55107805360274958872011-08-23T07:14:00.505-07:002011-08-23T07:14:00.505-07:00thank you!
