I just became a registered nurse, and my ten-year-old son is infant-like, has frequent meltdowns, and cannot stand without support. He is missing a piece of DNA (chromosome 9q22.2) but we are unsure if it made him disabled. He has a diagnosis of severely multiply impaired, paucity of white brain matter, partial agenesis of the corpus callosum, microcephaly, deformities of the ankle and foot, and Autism.
Hi Amy you have such a beautiful son:) My son also has Autism with global delays. Keep trying with the fork it might not be tomorrow or even next year but he will get it back. My son went from being fed with a spoon to refusing to take anything other then his sippy cup which meant we had to start giving him pedisure. A year and half later hes beginning to slowly take a spoon again. Keep your head up things do get better :)
Unfortunately, Andy no longer will put a fork in his mouth. It is possibly a regression of a skill. I'm not sure.
ReplyDeleteYou have a beautiful son! Keep up the good work mama-- The fork is a tough one- my son is still working on that one also
