[quote=Anonymous] My son was born at 32 weeks and we thought we would "only" have to deal with finite but intensive therapies for him to get over his developmental delays - OT, PT, speech, even play therapy. Wrong. After that, he was diagnosed with ADHD and Asperger's. The delays are mostly gone (still some issues with fine motor and coordination), but those disorders have to be managed and minimized, not cured, over time. Take-away: you have to be a trooper. It's your only option! Take a bit of time to yourself to recharge regularly, otherwise you won't be able to look after him. Hypervigilance: one issue may be masking another. Also, your child may have gifts you would never have suspected! My son is gifted in music and started reading grown-up books at 7. [/quote]
