Got Arrested For Nitrous Oxide

One word: WOW!

Wow, that without hesitation the word that came to mind this morning. That's the kind of wow that parents of different children live, the parents of "normal" children include, but not at the same intensity!

For a child like Tommy external stimuli can be very intrusive. I can not count how many times he crashed into a pole because he watched the ventaliteurs ceiling of the store, he fell down because he watched the addresses of houses rather than before it. I can not count the number of "blue" and lip bleeding.

If we go back a little over two years ago, we had a child who does se retournait pas à son prénom, qui ne semblait pas intéressé par nous, ses parents, et qui errait sans vraiment regarder derrière lui.

Que de chemin parcouru durant ces deux années. Que de travail fait, par nous, et par ses éducatrices du CRDI.

Je le mentionne parce que c'est important et parce que j'y crois.  Le ICI tel que j'ai mentionné, ne fait pas de miracles, il ne guérit certainement pas l'autisme et je pourrais même aller jusqu'à dire qu'ils ne font rien qu'on ne pourrait faire nous-même.

Toutefois, le travail que les éducatrices font, toutes ces hours is something that in reality every day, we would lack time to do it ourselves.

Quite simply, I do not even need to speak with normal children versus children for us to understand different here, I just need to talk about the lack of time, the life " race "that led a majority of parents. I think of all those parents who feel guilty about not enough playing with their child. Those parents who cut corners because it's urgent, we must go quickly, so I dressed and we have gotten in the car. I think these parents who buy peace because they are pressed.

is a reality, we live it all. The time that teachers give to my boy, it's time that I did not really routine, children, school, housework, meals, housekeeping, meals, children, meal ... We have to obviously, I just can not divide myself into three (much less four!). It was not during an outing to the park that I can work for example the fact that Tommy must return to the call of his name, because that will oversee the other two children?? Believe me, my friends have witnessed more than once, a pair of eyes pour les trois enfants est loin d'être suffisant!!


Pour moi, une journée comme aujourd'hui est un succès incroyable, c'est aussi le fruit de beaucoup d'efforts.

Promesse faite à la grande, nous allions manger au Mcdo!  La grande voulait jouer dans l'aire de jeu, ça faisait longtemps qu'elle nous le demandait.

Croyez-moi, à midi, il y avait foule! Les tables dans l'aire de jeu étaient pleines, des enfants, il y en avait partout!

Dans le Mcdo où nous étions, les tables de l'aire de jeu sont sur deux étages. Manquant de places, nous nous sommes installés en haut. Papa est parti en haut avec the chip, and I stayed down. After a while I joined Dad and I watched from above. Tommy did not know where I was, I was planning to come down to fetch food.

After several minutes, the big spring followed by a slip of his brother. I call the second floor to come and eat. I asked him to bring his brother but did not hear. I see Tommy then redirect to the slides. I cry when his name - and I take the trouble to remind you that it was crowded with people, noise, laughter and cries. While I am preparing to descend, Tommy freezes upon hearing his name. He starts looking around, c'est ÉVIDENT qu'il cherche à trouver d'où provient le son de ma voix.

Dans ma tête c'est déjà trop WOW!  Il a arrêté en attendant son nom et en plus il cherche du regard dans la pièce. Vous n'avez pas idée, à plus de 4 ans et demi, à quel point c'est un moment très important pour nous!

Je le rappelle donc, voyant qu'il cherche où je suis. Son regard se porte alors sur moi, après deux trois appels. Je lui demande donc de venir "en haut", "on va manger".  À mon grand étonnement, pour un deuxième WOW, Tommy délaisse l'aire de jeu, sans hésiter, et il se dirige vers les escaliers pour join us.

Honestly, I write and I come back just yet. This kind of history can seem so trivial, but believe me it is far from being a child like Tommy.

I often say that people have no idea all the way my children have traveled since birth. They have no idea when I see my great to play in games without fear, without fear, anguish in his eyes but only the pleasure, at what point for us is special and important, because time and of work to go so far there have been.

Today we lived a great time!

Understanding the pervasive developmental disorder

You understand that there are now over 2 years that I write on the blog to inform and offer my testimony lived on the pervasive developmental disorders.

Two years of text, it may be time to go. I had already suggested to a group so that newcomers can meet. I also think that consolidation can help people who would tell their family and friends. This is one of the main reason that motivates me for two years to write here.

I throw the message, if there are questions you think unanswered topics that I would not touch, do not be shy especially for me by email.


The announcement of a pervasive developmental disorder in children is like a bomb had landed on the home of the parents. Many parents feel that a split second we just destroyed their world "perfect." All dreams seem to break and is an uncertain future, often seen on the dark trick shock, which takes place.

This stage is extremely difficult to bear. Parents spend an incredible range of emotions. Sadness, colère, la remise en question, la culpabilité, l'intolérance, l'isolement.  C'est une étape difficile et l'annonce du trouble envahissant du développement dans la famille, oui ça change une vie.


Un trouble envahissant du quotidien - Le choc du possible diagnostic


On entend souvent parler du choc du diagnostic, plus rarement du choc de l’annonce du «　possible　» diagnostic. Pourtant le début des démarches vers un diagnostic est une étape extrêmement difficile à vivre. On entre dans un univers inconnu. On arrive parfois avec nos idées préconçues de ce qu’est l’autisme, ideas that can make the acceptance of the steps just as difficult as the acceptance of future diagnosis.

How to be good with approaches to diagnosis, so we have a hard ourselves to see the problem? Not all parents who have the strength to learn about the TED and not all parents who have had suspicions of any disorder. For some, the announcement of this possibility may be a shock if they did not see coming. Do not forget the subtle cases, those on the borderline between the typical child and the child ASD.


Guilt

Why I did not see coming?

is an issue that crosses the minds of most parents' approaches to diagnosis, or who have recently received the diagnosis. The question often leads to guilt. Why I did not see anything? Why I did not notice the obvious? It feels so guilty of time "lost" not to have been quite "soon" to remark that there was a problem.


When we bring specialists to the peculiarities of our child that the tests show how the difficulties are obvious, we feel as if we were blind.

Why? Why has not seen what seems so obvious afterwards? Following

Fall 2008
Guilt! I feel guilty about many things. Do not worry I'm far from being a depressed person ... despite what the written word can sometimes be transmitted. But I'm still guilty even though I know I should not. Easy to say no? I feel guilty in the day when my boy goes 1hr to launch mega blocks alone in his corner while I'm folding laundry or taking care of the sick little sister. I feel guilty when he spends too much time in his chair booster that I'm waiting for the other two to be able to disembark. I feel guilty for not having enough time to sit with him and show him things ... although I know very well that he does not cooperate ... and especially that he mad. I feel guilty at night supper to feed him with a toast, then it is one of only food that still accepts. More ... I said in the previous post ... I feel guilty of categorizing my guys ... to know his problem without a diagnosis.

Isolation

The effect of isolation est bien présent chez les familles avec un enfant atteint d'un trouble envahissant du développement. Ce n'est pas vraiment la faute de quelqu'un, c'est seulement une conséquence d'une réalité différente des parents d'enfants sans troubles divers.

Vous a-t-on demandé "comment ça va?"


Je vous pose la question aujourd'hui.

Est-ce qu'on vous a demandé comment ça va? Pas la petite question de cadre de porte à laquelle les gens ne veulent pas vraiment de réponses, mais la question sincère. "Comment tu vas? Comment tu vis toutes les épreuves?"

Je me rappelle lorsqu'on a fait les démarches pour and our son got the diagnosis, how is what hurt me most. For people, life has not changed and some of them think to ask us how we're going. Following

Because no it is not an accusation against anyone



Steps ... or those battles that will never end

Parents impatient, guilty parents

We are awaiting parents! Well I do not generalize, and I do not put our fault either, but the company wants "everyone to be like that again.


Children who attend the center are trained in cleanliness at the same time, drinking glass, eating with utensils.

compare against their parents on their child's development with the neighbor. You know, the little boy who walked at 10 months while you walked at 14 months?

As I have already explained there are also books, stages of development, while to "stress" the parents a little more when the child does not meet the "standards" established.

We became anxious parents.

Why I talk to parents anxious? Because most of the time when a parent tries to express concern at the development of his child, he made answer "see there's nothing there" ... "It is slower etc. .. etc. .. etc. ..". For some children, these people are right. For others, they twist. Following


The obstacle course

The assault course. You know, this journey full of pitfalls, trials and obstacles, when the "path" you would think that it will never end. This is a physically and psychologically difficult to cross.


The obstacle course is being undertaken by the Parents children "different". Each person will have a different route, but all agree how demanding it is. Physically? Because some people will completely deplete them, will forget to take care of them during this journey ... Psychologically? Because the term demand while working, self-esteem, emotional, review its priorities, depression ... Following


Diagnosis

effect diagnosis

Suspicion and diagnosis of ASD for parents is a big event in their lives.


We go through beaucoup de questionnements. On se demande quelle erreur nous avons commise avec l'enfant, pourquoi nous ?, est-ce qu'on aurait pu le prévénir, pourquoi on ne l'a pas vu avant ?... et j'en passe.

Ensuite on doit vivre avec le regard des autres, la famille attristée par la nouvelle, les étrangers qui ne savent pas vraiment ce qui nous arrive...

Accepter le diagnostic est une épreuve de longue durée. À vrai dire, il y a aura toujours des moments plus difficiles que d'autres, mais le temps fait bien les choses et ça deviendra de plus en plus facile à accepter.

La réaction the entourage

In the whirlwind of feelings that we took when we officially announce the doctor's assumptions about our child, it could happen to forget that our environment is also affected by these events.

Our surroundings, our family, our friends, may have lived with us, by far, our concerns about our child.

is a delicate subject to discuss. Grandma may have noticed things, not daring to talk to parents. That's what happened to me. People noticed the difference in our child, but never ventured to put a word on the delay. My Grandma have me admitted after the beginning of my efforts have been afraid to tell me ... and yet she knows I am a very open minded. Our discussions have finally made him understand that even if she had not spoken to me, I knew. I knew my boy had a problem.

Can we blame those around us who have remained silent? They are in a difficult position. Some parents are not ready to hear the "truth" and will blame anyone wishing to address the subject. Some parents are afraid.

The announcement of the early steps may have many effect on the environment.

relief for those who did not dare broach the subject directly with parents.
Denial , for those who can not see the specifics of the child.
Find a guilty, he must find a cause to feel better.
Malaise, Autism, is a scary word, people do not know how to talk. Want
reassure parents, unfortunately not always the right way.

Depression, anxiety ... just like the parents live, sometimes multiplied par la peine pour leur petit enfant et pour leur propre enfant tout à la fois.

La liste est infinie, les réactions sont uniques à chacun.

Dans ce tourbillon l’entourage peut commettre certaines erreurs. C’est malheureux et je l’espère involontaire la plupart du temps.

Pour l’entourage voici donc quelques petits conseils à retenir :

- Ne pas nier en tentant de rassurer les parents : "Ah non il est correct cet enfant-là ..., ça pas de bon sens "

- Chercher une autre cause : "Ah il est sûrement juste paresseux... "

- Accuser son grade "This is a second ... that's why it is neglected, you have less time to take care of him."

- The classic boy : "The boys are slower, it will unlock. "

- Accusing parents :" This child is king ... he does whatever he wants, "" he listens to too much TV, "" you do not have enough authority over him "

- Search thousand and one solutions: We need to listen, no solution on why our child wakes up four times a night. The process has just begun for us, there is more much room for boards to "because you have to let him cry."

When people are not familiar with a situation they can bring some judgments about the way we do. It is both a means to protect themselves against the inevitable is not it? Denial. Try to avoid this error is very hurtful for parents.

What may be needed:

-Do not feel uncomfortable to ask more questions . If we tackled the topic is that we are ready to respond. If we are talking about is probably because we need to be listened.

- Do not look for something clever to say , your listening is sufficient.

- Request new without discomfort!

- Remember to congratulate the parents . Try not to forget in all the work they do with their child, try not to go telling them how much you're sad for them. They do not live that sentences with their child.

When parents consult a professional for their child, the professional look some thing like eye contact, the interests of the child and the ability to pretend. If the child is pretending, several front-line professionals exclaim "everything is beautiful." Following


He diagnosed mild ... there is nothing there!

When I need to talk about my boy, I can just say "autism" ... it's simple, people understand. If want more details? "Oh well it's a little classical case in movies like".

Ah would not simpler? And in the minds of people is even "more serious". Following


Living with the cliches of autism

The autism spectrum is complex to understand. Complex for experts, a little more for the parents and even more for the rest of the world.
Autism? It seems more easy to understand ... I repeat I know.
As best I can, my writing, I try to "enlighten" a few people on this subject that is dear to my heart. Try somehow to explain the subtleties, features, differences between each, and everything that our children have obtained (or shall obtain for those in steps) a diagnosis of pervasive developmental disorder (or disorder Autism Spectrum ... your choice).
I work hard but I do it for fun. I speak from my own observations, my experiences and my findings. I work hard, and hardest task is to break down stereotypes. People are not just is opened, the pictures are so much space in our lives. These photographs bring us

Specific associations

One of the main problems found in le TED (et peut-être d'autres troubles semblables?) est la généralisation des apprentissages. Il y a aussi une question d'association qui est faite dans la tête de l'enfant TED.
Pour un enfant typique... un verre est un verre. Qu'il soit bleu, blanc, rouge, qu'il soit grand ou petit. L'enfant peut avoir une préférence, mais pour lui un verre c'est un verre en autant que ce soit fait pour boire.

Pour l'enfant TED certains parents parleront à un certain moment de rigidités. L'enfant refuse de boire dans un autre verre ou bien dans une autre assiette, avec une fourchette différente de l'habitude sinon l'enfant fait une crise. suite

What is the pervasive developmental disorder? Little things

What is the pervasive developmental disorder?

Magazine-déclic.com

Autistic spectrum disorder (ASD) is a set of severe developmental disorders of the child, including cognitive, social, emotional, intellectual, sensory and the acquisition of language. Autism is the most famous example.

Autistic spectrum disorder (ASD) have in common an association of three categories de symptômes : les troubles de la communication verbale et non verbale, les troubles des relations sociales, des centres d'intérêts restreints et/ou des conduites répétitives. Les personnes atteintes de TED ont du mal à s’adapter aux changements de l’environnement. La sévérité des symptômes est variable d’une personne à l’autre. La variabilité de l’expression clinique résulte non seulement du degré d’autisme qui diffère d’une personne à l’autre mais aussi de l’association des TED à d’autres troubles (retard mental, troubles moteurs, sensoriels et perceptifs, épilepsie…)

autism-montreal.com

ASD is generally reported in the first years of life. To submit a PDD must have:



severe disorders of communication: difficulty with language and decoding, echolalia, be non-verbal, etc.;.
Attacks neuro-sensory: the dysfunction of the five senses cause bizarre behavior and stereotypic survival in people. Abnormal behavioral manifestations are related to their neurological and chemical.

This leads ...


disorders of socialization: the autistic wants to interact but can not because of his disability.

These problems may be of varying intensity or appear differently depending on the disease. Some people with ASD can function normally in society while others require supervision 24 hours 24.


Have you found the answer in the explanations quoted above? Probably not, probably not more than me when I began my efforts.

is a difficult question to answer, and answers are vague as well as the pervasive developmental disorder is something of little concrete to set.

We find essentially the same problem in the explanation of the various neurological disorders that exist. These are problems "in the head," disorders that can not see, we can not show, explain the physical.

If you ask, what's a broken arm, it's easy to present an image to understand what it is. It can be seen by radiography, and above there is NO room for interpretation.

Parents approach to diagnosis seeking answers as possible specific to a disorder that is not even.

Parents who just had a diagnosis would better understand how it fits their child. Distinguish between "pervasive develop" their children and normal reactions to their child.

Parents who just had a diagnosis would be better able to explain to their family, friends.


is a question for which the answers are hard to find, because it speaks of a invisible disability and its characteristics may lead to different interpretations .

Even more difficult, anything you can say verbally (even in writing), to try to explain, will be questioned, compared, destroyed ... because eventually everyone will say "I ....."

It's easy, with an invisible disability, to accuse the parents, lack of discipline, authority, say the experts are wrong (ok yes it can happen! là n'est pas le débat), parce qu'on ne peut pas VOIR et PROUVER hors de tout doute le trouble en question.
 
Encore plus compliqué, le trouble envahissant de l'époque était clair, c'était l'autisme de kanner, le cliché qui traverse encore l'esprit des personnes qui entendent le mot "AUTISME".  C'était facile, on le reconnaissait sans problème, il avait l'air "débile", n'entrait pas en contact avec les gens, était tout ce qu'il y a de plus "dans sa bulle". On le reconnaissait par les crises, le balancement dans un coin.  J'exagère "à peine".
 
Mais aujourd'hui?  How can we explain this? Through the skyrocketing diagnoses and broadening the criteria? How can it be explained by comparing a Kanner autism (classic) and a child diagnosed with "mild" or even what we call a person in the "broader phenotype of autism *".


At the main question, what the pervasive developmental disorder , I would say that it is a group of disorders, characteristics found in the normal population.

I certainly will not help you with this answer, and yet it in part the key to understanding with the least possible interpretation, what the pervasive developmental disorder.

The pervasive develop is a collection of features and problems seen in the population. The person who has difficulty sustaining the gaze of the speaker. The man who lives with a very specific routine or it can be an anxiety attack. These people have a phobia of balloons bursting. Those who have their ears because there's a sound too loud. Those who feel physically ill in a place where there are too many people.

You can, without difficulty, noting such characteristics in yourself, your neighbor, your brother, your spouse, your teacher.

We often hear about the characteristics TED. The characteristics of pervasive developmental disorder are as follows .... The problem as I have related above, it is instantaneous, the interpretation is possible, and believe me the people jump (without wickedness) the opportunity to make it with "yes, but ...".

Parents are exhausted trying to explain, and let go often taken when they are always answers the famous "yes ... but my neighbor .... ..."

So start by setting that's something I really repeats as possible, features called TED are in fact normal features of the human.

If we solve the problem of interpretation, we can perhaps better explain what the pervasive developmental disorder.

The term "characteristics TED" is confusing. Because we find these characteristics in the population quite normal and are found also in several other neurological disorders.

must therefore focus on the word "invaded". pervasive developmental disorder is a combination of features that are part of the human being, but with invasiveness, preventing the development called "normal "the person affected.

The same characteristics that can be found in the population, are so invasive to the person with ASD, they can prevent the development of language, they cause significant delays in the various spheres of development. They prevent people from fonctionner "normalement" compliquant le quotidien de celles-ci. Même la personne atteinte "légèrement" aura toujours besoin d'une aide adaptée pour pouvoir fonctionner adéquatement dans la société.
 
Pour certains enfants c'est ÉVIDENT. Comme l'autisme de kanner.  Pour certains autres, c'est tellement dans la subtilité qu'il est facile de faire l'interprétation de l'enfant capricieux, mal éduqué. La différence entre les deux c'est que l'autisme style kanner, le trouble parait clairement de l'extérieur alors que pour un enfant moins atteint, le trouble est indeed present, but hidden inside because the child does not show physical signs of the disorder (rocking, flapping, self-mutilation, self-stimulation of style alignment, turn on itself etc..).

It's hard to understand and represent this different way of absorbing information. Because pervasive developmental disorder, is information that comes differently. His treatment is not like ours . For a parent with the disorder is really well hidden inside, it's hard to explain and even more, to explain it to others. By

example, in the person spraying (typical or atypical) information between the brain too quickly. They will record every detail of their environment DESPITE them. All information between at breakneck speed, leaving them barely enough time to properly treat it. They make associations on details that do not usually comment, so a simple change like the color of curtains in a room can be a source of anguish and incomprehension. It is as if the universe was broken.

A crack in a glass does not cause the same kind of emotions that a normal child. A child may have trouble seeing her favorite glass broken, in person TED is more complex, its environment, its universe is built from a picture, and this image is destroyed by a single crack, completely unbalanced the balance of his universe. TED person must work hard to restore this balance with different tools. Some will physically (flapping etc. ..) other live crisis of nonsense before you can restore this balance, leading to some powerful attacks, some will do so in a way more subtle, because they have learned over time to manage themselves, from the inside, this problem.

When trying to explain what kind of detail is difficult, because we have absolutely nothing to prove our "theory." As parents, what is even more difficult c ' is not to get lost in there, because we must constantly think about this differently to interfere with our children. It's more complex than the mere whim of the little frightened child or transient childhood.

pervasive developmental disorder is complex and unfortunately there will never be clear and precise definition.




*** extended phenotype of autism
*** The broader phenotype of autism it is these characteristics that can be found in a person, they are more invasive than average, but not sufficient to come up with a diagnosis of pervasive developmental disorder.

It is very common to find some people in the "extended phenotype" of the siblings and parents of the child TED due to the genetic component.

Personally I often say that the person in the extended phenotype to a part of the internal structure PDD but not totally. Besides, I think that is the case in the light spectrum of PDD, children with diagnosed mild to thus in an internal working party in the TED and party in the internal NT. What complicates even more when explaining the disorder to the family and friends.

Eyebrow Designer In Las Vegas

The little things, they are actually mundane things we do not usually comment. These little things that make the lives of parents with a different child a mountain in Russia.

The little things that details are so precise, that make us a little crazy ...

A drop of water onto a cup.
A hair caught between the toes.
A Care Bears placed upside down on the pillow.
A pillow turned upside down.
A piece of cake which was defeated.
A seed block which fell to the floor.
A ceiling fan running.
sleeve sweater reported.
Hat "evil" attached.
dish "too hot".
A dog that falls in the snow.
a manhole.
An instruction booklet.
A vieu chair.
A light flashes.
Stairs cons without reversing.

I could probably continue the list but these are the ideas that come to mind right now. Besides, I'm relatively lucky, because for some families, these little things are much more invasive and complicated.

These little things can be a source of stimulation, a source of anxiety, the source of drama.

These little things are finally "see" before they arrive. These little things are so numerous, they are far from being "nothing" in the life of the child and his parents.

These little things lead regular judgments of any kind. Child king, ill-bred, parent without authority ... caprice ...

With these little things that must go through the days. Some days are easier, and the "little things" do not seem too intrusive, and other days they bring to manage crises over crises, to the "police" to wreak havoc.


The wet cup is a small thing that brings a little girl in tears. It must be wiped, and do not forget a drop. It's a little something new, probably passenger, who still lead us to question. Why this sudden disturbing detail is the point of bringing a girl into tears?

stairs without cons-start was a little girl screaming, trembling in every limb, when it was time to climb.

vieu The chair, the instruction booklet, or any other commonplace that "tail" in the house, makes a terrific impact on the life of the big girl. Relinquishing an ordinary object is difficult, stressful, source of tears. Especially avoid throwing directly into the garbage, because the villain garbage truck may break. Consider details such as into a bag, to avoid seeing the famous object falling directly into the truck. If it is in a bag will prevent an anxiety attack.

the manhole, or "manhole", may boy to get into the middle of the street to watch the water fall, throwing rocks into the small holes, and read letters used found.

A dog that falls in the snow, it's a tragedy, period. A drama that attempts to transform into pleasure. He likes that the dog snow is not serious, it can dry.

Hat "Unsecured". Oh! Because he often asks me to tie my boy his hat when his dad is already done.

The sleeves of sweaters that do not fall right??? It handles the lower right! Because son will not fail to notice this detail and pull himself on the sleeves of your sweater to replace them.

A piece of cake which was defeated, could lead to see the full égrainnée cake on the table.

A seed block that falls, it is obvious that the other seeds should follow the first. Do not ask me why I just nonsense, le groupe a été "séparé" ?

Un plat trop chaud.  La chaleur tout court. Parce que même que dès que ce n'est pas FROID... on doit souffler. Chaud ou pas, impossible de manger si on a pas souffler sur TOUS les aliments de l'assiette.

Un ventilateur au plafond d'une épicerie, attention au poteau devant, il se pourrait que fiston se pète la tête une millième fois.

Un cheveux pris entre les orteils. Oui un cheveux. Parce que c'est une extrême sensibilité chez la minie puce, RIEN ne doit aller entre les orteils. C'est une terreur qui la fera figer sur place, hurlant à plein poumon. C'est une peur si intense qu'elle a même de la difficulté to accept the explanation and see someone else touching her "between-toe."


For me it is "nothing", I know that in some live much longer, but it's crazy that all the details ended up having to watch, sometimes we have to guess, like son this morning twice fell down the stairs, he looked "a little something" that I never guessed. Sometimes it is stunning, no one knows where to head!


The Small Things is also small things that become a source of wonder. Details that do not usually comment. As
