CNN segment

[Family Loves Disney]

Hi all, I know long time no post. I have been trying to graduate college for a second time. Graduation - May 10th!

Anyway, I thought that you all might be interested in this news segment from CNN. They interviewed me and my son Justin on autism - getting a diagnosis. It air yesterday and will air again on Saturday and Sunday on House Call on the CNN network. I am attaching the link from the website if you want to see it there.

Sadly your story and mine are almost mirror images. Although when the thought that my DD might be autistic hit me I thought that the Dr's weren't seeing it because she was a girl. So it took 4 year to get a diagnosis. But now things are going great!

Shannon, I just read the article. Your son Justin is so cute! Good for you for staying on top of his condition and fighting for a correct diagnosis. I have an older dd, and still didn't see my (at the time) 18 mth old as being all that "off". I just figured all kids are different, and she'd do things in her own time. Thank goodness her pediatrician did see it, and referred us to a developmental ped.

I also think it's very cool of you to put your story out there. You're helping other parents in ways you'll probably never know.
