Hello again!
Sorry for the delay, again. I have decided to go to school to get a Masters in Occupational Therapy. When you have not been to college before, it's a long process. ;)
Anyway, I wanted to let everyone know, I will be speaking at the UVU Autism Conference on April 12, 2013. My presentation, along with Kianna Collier-OT, is about how to "Become a Floortime Family". If you are unfamiliar with Floortime, it's considered a play/developmental therapy. We have used it in our family for years and had amazing success.
I also wanted to share one thought I heard from a friend of mine: "If you don't label it, others will and it may be wrong and hurtful". I've shared this advice many times, and used it myself as well. I know many parents don't wish to "label" their child. Please let others know what is going on with them. Why are they acting the way they are. It will only create a community of understanding and concern.
Along with that thought, I always try to match my expectations to what the child is capable of. I never want to expect things from the child that they are not able to do, right now. That expectation changes as the child changes. Our house motto is "always try your best". My best is different than your best, and it's not fair to expect the same out of us.
Hope things are going well for everyone! Please let me know if I can answer any questions or help in any way! I LOVE children on the Autism Spectrum and want the best for EVERY ONE.

I found your blog tonight, searching for "LDS autism biomedical". :) I have 3 kids- one with autism, and one with severe ADHD/mild aspergers. My mother in law had some really hurtful things to say about our parenting after our daughter's baptism this evening, so I was looking for somewhere uplifting as I was bawling. :) Thanks for being that uplifting place.
ReplyDeleteI feel better to know that I am not alone in this. I really liked that thought your friend shared with you. By the way, do you know where we can get the Primary Angels DVD?
ReplyDeleteDo you have any posts or know of any posts regarding the baptism of autistic children? Not so much the concepts (bc we all know autistic children are borderline genius) but being comfortable with the getting completely wet part. He's 6 1/2 right now but we're hoping that if we start preparing now we can be ready.
ReplyDeleteIrrespective of receiving daily oral or future injectable depot therapies, these require health care visits for medication and monitoring of safety and response. If patients are treated early enough, before a lot of immune system damage has occurred, life expectancy is close to normal, as long as they remain on successful treatment. However, when patients stop therapy, virus rebounds to high levels in most patients, sometimes associated with severe illness because i have gone through this and even an increased risk of death. The aim of “cure”is ongoing but i still do believe my government made millions of ARV drugs instead of finding a cure. for ongoing therapy and monitoring. ARV alone cannot cure HIV as among the cells that are infected are very long-living CD4 memory cells and possibly other cells that act as long-term reservoirs. HIV can hide in these cells without being detected by the body’s immune system. Therefore even when ART completely blocks subsequent rounds of infection of cells, reservoirs that have been infected before therapy initiation persist and from these reservoirs HIV rebounds if therapy is stopped. “Cure” could either mean an eradication cure, which means to completely rid the body of reservoir virus or a functional HIV cure, where HIV may remain in reservoir cells but rebound to high levels is prevented after therapy interruption.Dr Itua Herbal Medicine makes me believes there is a hope for people suffering from,Parkinson's disease,Schizophrenia,Lung Cancer,Breast Cancer,Colo-Rectal Cancer,Blood Cancer,Prostate Cancer,siva.Fatal Familial Insomnia Factor V Leiden Mutation ,Epilepsy Dupuytren's disease,Desmoplastic small-round-cell tumor Diabetes ,Coeliac disease,Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease,Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy, Ataxia,Arthritis,Amyotrophic Lateral Scoliosis,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Toxicity
