Let me start by telling you a bit about myself. I am 29 and married, with 2 beautiful children. My son JJ is 4, almost 5 and was diagnosed with HF AS. He is currently medicated for high anxiety and will be going on this week for a round of testing to see where we are and how we fall on the spectrum. We received this diagnosis back in August.
My daughter Lei is 3. She is as NT as they come. She is what most of you call, baby 101. Textbook. She is all girl and the sweetest thing you will ever meet. Then you get to know her. She NEVER shuts up! She sings in the shower. She plays pretend with her dolls. She is such a cutie!
We realized that JJ may have some issues when he was a bit younger. He was always an anxious child, and hard to understand. He would intentionally hurt animals, but couldn't explain animals. He would hit or pull their tails. He had a VERY HARD time expressing himself to anyone. I didn't really think to see anyone until my mom brought up that something "wasn't quite right". She couldn't explain it.
We saw a therapist who immediately realized what was going on. They referred us to Silver Child Development Center. From that point on, I read books, surfed the internet and talked with people who had the same experiences. That brought me here.
