BIG TIME ((((HUGS))))) Dee.

I have been worried about you. Haven't seen you around as much. Such a tough time right now for you.

First on Cian. I totally understand why you are so worried, however, getting him help now prior to 5 is a great thing. I know from what you post he has loads of potential and this is early intervention. It may seem right now like what they school is going to do isn't going to help, but it just may. Start listing specifics about your concerns, pick one thing to work on at a time and then go with that. Break things down into smaller chunks and it is easier than trying to tackle the whole thing at once. When I try and take in all the stuff at once I get completely overwhelmed, don't know where to start and just fall apart. But if I break it down to "I want to work on this particular need" and make a plan from there it works better.

On the baby, I was convinced Emily was going to be fully autistic when she was a baby because of some issues she had that were similar or worse than the others. (She was the flapping queen! as well as real challenging eating issues). You are feeling really sensitive and nervous right now and that is understandable but hopefully everything is fine and you can enjoy the baby more soon.

Big hugs and glasses of wine. So sorry. This is a tough time right now with a new baby and 2nd kid in the diagnostic process. We are here for ya.

Dee I am so sorry. I too know that deep dark place you thought you out from. Just when the littlest thing you thought was out grown, it rears it's ugly head.
He is still so young, it's hard to tell. My ds is 3.6 and still NO desire to try potty at all. I feel your pain on that one. I have focused my attention on his speech and conversational skills. I really try to pick my battles as they come.

I know how scared you are since you older son had more severe issues.
God has a plan. That's my motto

((hugs))

Well, since you're breastfeeding, I'll send you hugs and cyber malt beer vibes! LOL

My sister (the first person ever in our family to nurse) was told by her midwives that she should drink one bottle of Mickey's Big Mouth malt beer every night to encourage milk production. Granted, that was 15 years ago... Needless to say, I preferred a nice glass of wine (every now and then) when I was nursing. ;-P

Hang in there. Yes, it's tough...but you'll get through. You always do, and you always will.
