[quote=Anonymous]OP, I can't imagine how hard that must have been to hear.  Hugs to you.  It sounds like you have regrets about not calling sooner and since I work in Early Intervention I can tell you that you are very much on the early side in terms of getting started with services.  Many of the kids I see haven't been started until much later - 24, 36 and even 48 months!  You are doing all the right things.  Early intervention can really make all the difference and it already sounds like there has been noticeable progress made, which is a really great sign.  I also agree with a PP that you should get a second opinion however I would wait until DC is a little bit older and has had more time in intervention services-so that you can get more information about strengths and needs.  Children's or Johns Hopkins can do a full eval (and they take insurance) or EI can have a psychological done.  If you put his name on the wait list now at Children's or Hopkins it will be a few months and he'll be older by that time anyways.  In the meantime talk to your doctor about having bloodwork/genetic testing done on your son to rule out any medical diagnosis.  [/quote]
