Jordan is being re-assessed Posted: 01-16-08 23:58pm
So, as some of you know, Jordan has
developmental delays. He had a follow-up
appt.(which was way over due) with the
pediatrician at the Children's centre, and
they want him to be re-assessed for
autism. He was first assessed back 2- 2
1/2 years ago... he was very young, and
sometimes is harder to conclude at that
age.
At times, Jordan's development has been
very trying and extremely difficult. The
good thing about it is, he has been
progressing forward.
Either way, Jordan is Jordan and will
never change in my eyes.
Just thought i'd let you all know

I'm glad to hear he's progressing forward!
That's great news!
Jordan is Jordan, that's right! He's a
cute little guy and no diagnoses will
change that!

How old is Jordan?
I have been through all of this with my
own son and also assess kids in the
educational setting. If you want to talk,
PM me. Especially after you get the
results back and if it is written in
psychobabble. I can help you decode the
language.
I understand the whole emotional roller
coaster with having a child with special
needs. You have a wonderful
attitude..."Jordan is Jordan!"
I usually say that about Nathan. "Oh..Nate
is being Nate!" They are not defined by
their disability or difference but they
are defined by how they are unique
individuals, like we all are.

You are super sweet! I'll definitely pm
you once everything is in ink to decode it
lol we have a 3-4 month wait.. again lol
I'm glad that Jordan is progressing
forward....that's great!! As his mom,
someone who is with him all the time, do
you think that he could be autistic? I
agree with Karin, I think that you have an
awesome attitude:) That is exactly what
the term "unconditional love" is!!

Good luck! We love you, Jordan! And you
too of course, Michie!
Shannah, I've been back and fourth many of
times. At this very moment i don't believe
he does. It's like a rollercoaster.
There is this one big trait that i believe
most children with Autism carry, and
Jordan doesn't display it(or lack of).
He's VERY social and can make eye
contact.
It's just good to to be able to eliminate
the possibility... again!

i dunno much about autism Michelle but
either way I agree Jordan will always be
Jordan. Sounds like even if he is autisic
hes high functioning so life would still
be able tobe pretty normal for him. Good
luck!
