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

Dear Sandy,

             Earl just turned five last week and I have been asked if he was

autistic all his life. Ever since he was a baby he has exhibited behaviors that

are often seen in autistic children. the biggest is his inability to deal with

certain stimuli. his physical therapists had mentioned autism and i know they

did some tests but nothing ever really came from it. but i have also been

thinking about it alot lately, especially with all the coverage on autism these

days. and ur right, maybe we should just research it ourselves!!



Best Wishes,

Jenny
