Hello all, my name is Racheal and my 4-year-old was diagnosed a year ago with high-functioning autism. We noticed he was delayed in speech and he wasn't a very social baby. He has several sensory issues and has major sleeping problems. He was mostly nonverbal however with speech therapy he has come a long way and talks a lot but rarely makes sense. He attends a daycare where he has developed a great deal of speech and behaviors. He struggles with noise and has ear muffs for that. He hates socks and shoes. However he's very smart and right on track educationaly. He still has not been potty trained but has started to take interest in it. We just started a new med for sleep so fingers crossed that helps. Anyway nice to meet you all and im glad to be a part of a support group as I know I need it often!
