Sandy,
Abby as well was first diagnosed with pdd and autistic characteristics, until we received the Weaver diagnosis 6 months later. She was also diagnosed with sensory integration disorder. Abby is also very social and wants to meet everyone, talks to everyone. She may not do it appropriately at times but does very well.
Abby was recently diagnosed with ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), and has started medication for it. After trying three different meds we have finally found one that does well for her.
Abby will begin the 6th year in the fall and moving to the middle school. A lot of changes are coming for her and I am very anxious to see how she does.
Hope this helps. Best wishes to all for a great summer.
Greta

Subject: [WSSA] Would anyone like to answer my question?
This a question to each and all.....
Recently Nathan was diagnosed with Asparagus, which got me wondering, how many of our kids with Weaver Syndrome, exhibit or show signs of Autistic characteristics/ trait's within their behaviour
Also just how many have an actual diagnoses? because this just maybe significant to Weaver Syndrome itself....There doesn't seem to be that much research going on, I realize the 'few' affected by this disorder does not warrant research or should I say warrants money to finance research! Maybe we should do our own?
All replies and comments appreciated
With Kind Regards
Sandy x
