(I've read ...Oh, I think mine believes in SPD. (I've read to him stuff from various books and websites, especially regarding eating, that sound too frighteningly like my son to ignore!) But I think a part of him still believes it's something that as Frank's body matures, he'll automatically handle it better and outgrow a lot of it. Which he may, because we have had him in OT since he was 17 months and have made a great deal of progress; there's a lot of things we do with him every day, too, that the OT taught me, and that should help, too. But he may not- other things may emerge as years go on, things that are unnoticeable now because he doesn't have to sit still for 45 minutes at a time. <br /><br />My husband was MUCH slower than I was to accept that there was SOMETHING wrong at the outset. I was the one who took it upon myself to go to an OT. I think it took my husband nearly a year post-diagnosis to accept that this was a real thing. He only recently began coming with us once in a while to OT. <br /><br />Thanks for reading and commenting!Karinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11881486949922356013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3409300836233267154.post-30631663013310581752010-04-30T05:20:30.377-04:002010-04-30T05:20:30.377-04:00Wow!

According to the hubby, when our son misbehaves he's just being "a boy" and when he has meltdowns he's just "acting his age". It is slightly frustrating, isn't it?Kerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05474445246689748049noreply@blogger.com
