As I read my text for my Child Psychology class I can not stop but relate everything to Dominic. From brain waves, to infant communication to socialization. It is quite painful to read how most 9 month olds start socializing with others when this took Dom after 2-3 to realize and be comfortable with.
A few days ago I was at a friends house and saw video of our boys at 9 months to one years old. It was cute to see how much our boys have changed in the past 4 years. One piece of video contained our boys in a baby gymboree class. Most of the kids were playing with toys around a bin and then there was a closeup of dom playing by himself in the corner. Was Aspergers really this prominent in only a barely one year old. How could i not see what was right in front of me and that hey - is this normal to want to be solitary from other kids at this young of an age.......I do realize that getting Dom diagnosed at 2 1/2 was probably the best thing that i could do for him, but it still boggles me that i could of done more for him.
Anyways, on a great note, Dom is doing great in school and is a social butterfly - well enough for him anyways. He is initiating conversation, playing with others and talking in class, major improvement from last year. So here is too getting better!! TOAST!
