Hi everyone. I hope you are doing well. Things are a bit of a roller coaster here right now. I recently took Kayla to a pediatrician and she spent about an hour with us and at the end of it all, tells me that Kayla has many classic signs of Autism Spectrum Disorder. She will not make eye contact, but I always chalked that up to being "shy". She will wave her hands when she gets excited. She has a hard time communicating what she is feeling but she isn't nonverbal. She still wets her pants. The outbursts and tantrums. Most of it we just thought were more behavioural than anything. It all started after meeting with the staff at her school as they had some "concerns". And I guess now I'm left wondering "what now?" Many of the behaviours, I wondered why we haven't made progress and yet some days it feels like we might just be getting through.
I am wondering about supplements and dietary changes and will meet with a dietician to not only help with that but also to be sure she's getting what she needs because she is so tiny. I thought that she was just slower growing than other kids her age but it has started to be more of a concern. She's never been a big eater so I try and make sure what she is eating is healthy.
