Hi pixa-angel,

I'm sorry to read about your son, and what you've both been going through. I don't have any advice for you but I did want to welcome you to NeuroTalk.

I hope you're not offended, but I broke your initial post down into paragraphs to make it a bit easier to read.

Welcome again; I hope you soon get the answers that you need.

Thanks so much ! And no not offended attall ! lol I tend to space off when Im typing trying to make sure i dont miss anything so its greatly appreciated! Im still learning this posting thing hopefully Ill get it down soon

Haven't read your last msg yet, but just wanted to say it was good to see you post. I was SO worried I'd chased you away with all my questions.

What do you mean by self sooth? You don't mean self stim do you?

I think the term they use with babies is self sooth. Where they learn to calm themselves down on their own with out a parent rubbing their back or talking to them. My son gets easily distraught at times sometimes in the blink of an eye (its gotten worse over the past yr or so) but when he gets like that he has a hard time calming him self down. Sometimes he doesnt even know why he is upset or crying just that he is.

Like what the baby whisperer teaches?

Ahh, ok.
I thought you meant that when he was really stressed he vocalized or rocked or tapped or something like that. A self-stimulatory behaviour or stereotypy. My son on autism spectrum used to have some of those behaviours when young but he also had a movement disorder so it was sometimes difficult to tell one from the other. My son used to get stressed very easily with tiny little changes in routine or other changes in the environment even. He still does actually and he's 24 LOL ~ If someone is 5 minutes late it's just so terrible.

I hope the tests all go well. He sure has a lot on his plate your little guy. You take care of yourself too. It'd be really good to get to the OT. He/she may have some ideas to help him and some advice for you.

Im not sure since Ive never heard of the baby whisperer lol Ill have to google that

No, no, no ! You definitely didn't run me away This week has been spring break for the kids and we've had a few appts for one child or another this week ...I felt bad it had taken me so long to respond!
