I knew that something didn't feel right...as soon as my baby was born, and I felt it deeply in my heart. Though, any and all of my questions ended on deaf ears...and with the polite answers of "Every child is different."... I didn't give up my search for what I felt was wrong in my gut. My little boy is 9 years old now, and he has Aspergers, and so I have my answer finally...after 9 years of asking, and reading, and researching. More important though than that of the lablel...I wanted answers to what I could do for my son to help him "Function" and "Connect" with the world...and I wanted desperately for him to be happy. I did not want him to be on meds, as I saw this as only a "treating the symtoms"...and what I wanted is "to find and treat the cause". After many, many, different types of Therapies, and Treatments starting when he was just 2 years old, either didn't work, had very marginal results, or made his symptoms worse...I was almost to the point of "giving up", and I found a most wonderful and new therapy for my son that has been working wonders! It is called "Hemispheric Integration Therapy", and it has made a most wonderful difference in his happiness and success in life now, and given him a much brighter future!
