[quote=Anonymous]OP, don't feel too bad about your post. I know your anxiety is eating away at you and the uncertainty [b]can[/b] be the worst part. I agree with the others that you should talk to your pediatrician. We were in your shoes 8 years ago and ended up taking our DS to CARD at Kennedy Krieger in Baltimore for an evaluation when he was ten months old. They didn't tell us that we were crazy or needed a Xanax. In fact, they enrolled us in a program designed to increase his social interactions. It helped somewhat, but nearly 9 years later he is on the spectrum. And he is still a joy. I guess what I am trying to say is that, despite the lost sleep over what might be in your future, take heart that you will still love your child and he will still give you joy no matter what. Try to enjoy this time with him and not over-analyze his every move too much. Be kind to yourself, talk to your pediatrician, and seek out resources if appropriate. Good luck.[/quote]
