Tiny Whispers: Denial and "Advocate Fatigue"
http://tiny-whispers.blogspot.com/2010/04/denial-and-advocate-fatigue_13.html
Learning together - from her whispered words. April 13, 2010. Denial and "Advocate Fatigue". Throughout late fall and early winter of 2010 we had made some great successes. We completed Amelie's autism testing; changed her diet; hired a speech specialist; diligently took notes at our weekly meetings with Donna; did our homework and journaled all of our successes in our blue notebook.we were on track and improving by leaps and bounds! Gradually the reports of the "bad" behaviors started filtering back fro...

Tiny Whispers: Baby Steps
http://tiny-whispers.blogspot.com/2010/03/baby-steps.html
Learning together - from her whispered words. March 26, 2010. It was a fantastic day in February, not long after Amie's 3rd birthday, when we got the 'official' news that she was not autistic. The official/non-official "diagnosis" is "Rule Out PDD". In two years, Santa Barbara's Tri County Regional Center has recommended that we have her re-tested. Until then, her problems are deemed not severe enough to warrant state assistance. They'll tell us our time. Yesterday, she was fumbling with the buckles on h...

Tiny Whispers: February 2010
http://tiny-whispers.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Learning together - from her whispered words. February 19, 2010. My name is Denice. I am mother to Amelie, a three year old girl living in Southern California. One of the most scary days of my life was when my husband and I were seated at the small table in her preschool class and told that she was delayed in speech- possibly due to neurological problems. They are calling it Autism these days." her teacher said, as my eyes glazed over, gut churning. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Woggle-...

Tiny Whispers: Easy Livin'
http://tiny-whispers.blogspot.com/2010/07/easy-livin.html
Learning together - from her whispered words. July 23, 2010. Summer (and my new part-time schedule! Has arrived and we have been determined to have lots and lots more fun. From dancing the night away at beautiful weddings to chasing each other's long shadows on the boardwalk, we are happy and chatty and silly. Now, we have less days of summer left and our little girl is growing up before our eyes- more talking and interacting with all kinds of people and less of the other, worrisome stuff. Amelie is a ch...

Tiny Whispers: Physical Attraction, Chemical Reaction
http://tiny-whispers.blogspot.com/2010/04/physical-attraction-chemical-reaction.html
Learning together - from her whispered words. April 30, 2010. Physical Attraction, Chemical Reaction. One of the conditions that my husband, Tim, gave me for putting Amelie back on the gluten and dairy free (GF/CF) diet. Was that she was to be allergy tested. If a bona fide MD deemed her "allergic" to dairy and wheat, then he would be more receptive to a permanent diet change. We all went to the appointment together. They counseled us about what to expect which included a lot of questions, discussion...

Tiny Whispers: May 2010
http://tiny-whispers.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Learning together - from her whispered words. May 7, 2010. I should have known the minute I began reading the PSI Short Form Test, one of the questionnaires I was asked to complete prior to our appointment at UCSB's Koegel Autism Center, that today was going to be another gut wrench. Question 1: I often have the feeling that I cannot handle things very well. Strongly Agree? Then came a 10 minute "test" where I played with her while they noted and video taped our interaction. After more time and questioni...

Tiny Whispers: California Dreamin'
http://tiny-whispers.blogspot.com/2010/08/california-dreamin.html
Learning together - from her whispered words. August 31, 2010. We have officially graduated from Chit-Chat Speech Camp! This is a wonderful community-funded program for kids put on by the Scottish Rite (the Masons). The irony of that fact will never be lost on me (a secret society teaching my daughter to speak). I love going there and seeing all of the cool photos, paintings and Masonic memorabilia. It's such a cool old building that looks like it hasn't been touched by a decorator in 40 years. For our f...
