Blog For Down Syndrome

When our son was 3 or 4 years old we started suspecting that there was more to his overall disability picture than Down Syndrome alone. He displayed autisitc tendencies like not wanting to experience physical touch, being obsessed with “sameness” and displaying sterotypical repetitive movements. Since both my wife and I have previous experience with working with disabled individuals we could see it but it was difficult to express our concerns to medical and education professionals. Even harder was trying to explain it to friends and family. You sometimes feel like that people think you are grasping for other reasons to explain the lack of developmental milestones. We are fortunate to have great pediatricians, access to world class medical facilities and a top rated private school for children with disabilities. Over time we were able to get our sons dual diagnosis added into his official records and  IEP. This has helped us alot in obtaining supports that we not have otherwise been able to qualify for.
