Amber I just wanted to say hello.I have been lurking around this sight for about three weeks and I finally got around to joining. My five year old son is autistic (high functioning ). I just wanted to post to say that finding this forum has been a real blessing!You guys have really taught me some things and led me to some wonderful websites to help my son. Lurking no more - S.T Hi and Welcome to the board!! Glad your not lurking anymore!! I have a 3 year old son with autism. I also have a boy 12, a girl 11, and am pregnant with a boy due in mid aug. So glad to have you here. Hope to hear from you again soon. Take care, Karrie Hi - thank you for the welcomes. My son was diagnoised at three. We have alot of the same issues that I have seen some of you all post about ( the screaming , potty training ,fear of public restrooms ) So I am so glad I found this forum. 
My son Luke is 28 mos and dx'd with PDD-NOS and my son Andrew is a
month old ... nothing untoward about him except we think he has a dairy
allergy!! Since I'm nursing, I guess we're both on a break from
dairy to see if that's the problem. I'm getting about 4 hrs sleep
per night, so if I ramble sometimes, please forgive me!
