And I know that he wouldn't be able to do that without your guidance. You should be proud of yourself because you know how to raise a child with autism very well. :) He looks good with his dental braces. Is he still wearing it? <br /><a href="http://www.springbranchdental.com/canyon-lake-tx-dental-care/" rel="nofollow">Jairo Chavez @ Spring Branch Dental Care</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096733110335593666.post-20178735695952485402012-09-10T17:26:56.237-04:002012-09-10T17:26:56.237-04:00As a former teacher of children on the spectrum, I...As a former teacher of children on the spectrum, I salute you. I had no idea that some ins. companies<br />consider autism to be a 'pre-existing condition'. That's a pretty sick way to deny you coverage to save them the almighty dollar. Glad you know how to advocate for your children. I lost my job because I supported my parents in their quest for appropriate educational situations for their children, and I'd do it again. ~karenKaHollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02528677007819875856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096733110335593666.post-78334169142655313272012-08-29T21:30:29.737-04:002012-08-29T21:30:29.737-04:00otway to go, you tell em,

Oh yes he did!!! He is one of the most recognized ophthalmologists in NH, and I had to wait four months for my son's appointment. He took one look at my son's flapping hand (stimming caused by anxiety), and deemed his squinting "a tick". No he has no "tick", he no longer squints, now that he has glasses and he can see, DUH! Don't even get me started with "specialists"!Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05563689842824628301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096733110335593666.post-66951347234013360772012-08-20T13:29:55.094-04:002012-08-20T13:29:55.094-04:00oH P.S.

I wanted to let you know, I take my girls to an Ophthalmologist instead of an Optomotrist...the reason being the Ophthalmologist can see health issues from looking in the eyes.

I am a dental hygienist and I have to say that we are taught (at least where I went to school) how to manage the different requirements of special needs patients---and many need no treatment out of the ordinary, while some 'non-special needs' patients require considerably more management. Some of my best patients have been special need individuals and I wouldn't change those experiences for anything in the world. Kudos to you for the great job you are doing as a parent!Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05238785893952819865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096733110335593666.post-63594823583209132412012-08-08T15:22:32.329-04:002012-08-08T15:22:32.329-04:00Thank you for this post.
