[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, my kids are NT (although one had lots of issues during early childhood that were resolved through interventions) so please take this for what it's worth. But I think you are overreacting, and I think PPs who are advising you to go see the "foremost expert on CP" based on a description of baby reflexes that are extremely common (arching his back!! locking his legs!!) are also overreacting.

There are plenty of times when you may need to trust your gut and demand to see world class specialists. But as a FTM, you're more about Google now than an informed gut instinct. Talk to your ped about your concerns. Stop trying to practice medicine by Google. Enjoy your child. And perhaps if you can't get over this, consider googling how PPD often manifests as anxiety.

I think diagnosing OP with PPD is as hypocritical as calling her out for suspecting her infant has CP.  And NT mom, you have no idea what it's like to suspect your child has special needs and not be taken seriously.  Seriously, STFU.   Telling someone they have PPD is okay in your book because they think their child has special needs, according to your "informed gut"?  Really?? Really??

You really suck.  Please don't come to Special Needs.[/quote]
