Been having a lot of revelations in my life these past couple months. It seems that everything I thought I knew I was completely wrong about. I figured I had autism figured out, wrong! I know I am not supposed to know everything but I figured I had a clue.
Basically I think that Cheyenne is digressing and I figured that was not possible, well at least in her speech. Cheyenne has always had problems with speech bur her intellect has always been brilliant. She was having speech therapy two times a week at school and did not qualify for at home use anymore. Well I figured that she would not need it during the summer, wrong again. I should have tried to get her into a speech program and I figured she would not be able to qualify but I never tried. I actually did not even think about it till I noticed the digression, which you would have thought I noticed it sooner. I did not even realize till around two weeks ago, right about the time summer is ending and school is beginning in two weeks. I feel like I should have noticed this earlier, like I am failing for my child .I hope this is not a huge problem but I am not sure. I have no one to talk to about this
Cheyenne is talking like a baby, almost as if she cant use words. We have to ask her big girl voice or talk normal in order to understand her.Cheyenne also talks like characters most of the time as well. She does not understand that she has a voice of her own, or at least it comes across that way. So the big question is that is she digressing or is this just a stage she is going threw, she is four. For all i know she is just identifying with the characters and feels like she understand them better than anyone else, obviously a guess on my part.
One thing I am very happy about is that she does start school soon and she will back on schedule for her therapy. I am praying that this can or will be resolved. Also at the same time if this is all that is going on with her then I am very lucky. She is a very healthy, loving, beautiful child.
I just want to help my child and if there is anything I can do I will do it!! If anyone has any suggestions or knows what i am going threw I would great appreciate any feedback. Thank you!!
