my son is disabled with multiple conditions. he has hearing loss and/or auditory processing disorder we find out Monday which. (his abr shows mild hearing loss, behavioral hearing test in sound proof room shows moderate to severe. so if new behavioral test on Monday still shows the moderate to severe then they will just say he has some kind of auditory processing disorder, if it correlates to the abr and only shows mild hearing loss he will finally get his hearing aid.) he is non-verbal (doesn't talk)

to read a shortened version of all of his conditions click link below:

NOW TO MY QUESTION:

I have been working with my son on asl by myself (docs say that he cant learn asl due to his ataxia, hypotonia, osteopenia, and his other muscular conditions that basically his hands just cant do it) but I don't give up on him. so I have been doing it myself. hes understanding asl now; which is great to be aable to communicate with him (kind of) hes able to understand me (im still learning asl myself) but hes only been able to get down one sign (more) and he bawls his fists instead of keeping them flat for the sign but its a start (more than the docs said he should be able to)

so any tips/ideas on teaching him the asl? he can understand me and follow my signs to even pick up his toys/ sit down to eat (a lot more than docs say that should be able to do) but so far he hasn't signed more than that one.

please any advice would help!

*he used to talk but stopped at 17 months and hasn't talked more than just baba.

sorry this is so long and kind of rantish

WARNING TO MUCH INFORMATION! VERY GRAPHIC WRITING!!!

I never had this problem before my last pregnancy and getting my tubes tied. now when im on my period I get extremely bad cramps (almost like contractions) and I have a lot of big blood clots. I have counted as many as 36 in 7 hours (that I know of). after I pass a lot of these my whole body is just exhausted, weak, and I get light-headed/dizzy for about 30 mins after the huge ones (size of small orange). this happens every period and has seemed to be getting worse. I can no longer wear a tampon as I would get very bad cramp (knock me to my knees) so I would go to the bathroom and whenever I would take out my tampon clots would just fall out, until the toilet was full of them (cramp would pass afterward) but now I just wear pads but im still having to change them every few hours sometimes when it gets really bad I just sit on the toilet and let them all fall. (which is the weirdest/ most uncomfortable feeling (especially when you are out in town and you feel them just drop out on to the pad, if I don't catch it in time then yes they fill up the pad so much they will fall out of it))

I have talked ot my old obgyn and he said it was normal after my pregnancy but now its 2.5 years later and it seems worse.

any ideas on what could be going on? or is this just normal? its to the point that I don't leave my house when im on my period! I get my insurance next month so will be going in to see doc then.

any advice/stories are welcome!!!

so my son is 2 and is disabled. here is his story if you want to read it: http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/little_liam/jour...

December 4th, the day after he had abr/mri, he had 2 seizures, and continued to have 10 in the next 12 days before going on keppra. it took away his ability to sit up (now has to lean on his hand), a week after the seizures he started having some facial asymmetrically (more on his right) but it seems like now (this last week or 2) its gotten much worse. he also used to grasp objects like a normal toddler but now he curls his fingers (claw like) to grab anything. he will still straighten his hands if you rub the bottom of them, but while playing goes right back to curled. today we put him on a balance ball and the therapist said that probably the reason he leans to his left side while he sits up is due to he feels like his center balance is on the left. (instead of center) she told me a stroke can cause this. I had talked to his doctor at his last check up 1 month ago and she told me even if he had a stroke we couldn't test for it, as its been too long.

It seems like he keeps having stroke symptoms, but if he did have a stroke would the symptoms be getting worse now? is there anything I can do? is there anything else it can be?

he also stares off in space (been worse last 2 weeks) a lot probably 30-40 mins of the hour. we are constantly having to get his attention, even swiping your hand in front of his face, he will blink but not look at you just keeps staring at nothing. this is interrupting our therapy sessions now as its happening so much. any idea on why this is happening? anything I can do?

im not looking for medical advice I know its the internet, im looking for ideas/things it can be so I can research them and bring them up to his doctor. he sees so many and yet still no one knows whats wrong with him.

please any advice would be helpful!!!

my daughter is 3 and we know she has a sensory processing disorder, but she has started regressing and some of her behaviors have changed her doctor now wants her tested for autism. all of the children type clinics are booked for 9+ months, so she has an appointment set up at a adults/children counseling office. they said its the first of 2 appointments. she freaks out at the doctors (still not used to it even though she goes every few months) im afraid how she will be for an hour consultation and how this place will be. my daughter just went to the pediatrician today and this consoling place is getting her evaluated tomorrow, so its quick im just nervous and don't really know what to expect or how bad my daughter is going to freak. I dont like to see her upset/ or have another sensory overload fit. shes a big girl just turned 3 but 60 lbs and 41 inches tall, im only 4'10 so if she has a full fledge episode it will be hard to calm her down in a brand new place.

we know she has a sensory disorder, but now as she gets older its getting worse and so now at her 3 year appointment her doc thinks its either progressed to autism or was misdiagnosed as just sensory, and was autism the entire time.

sorry this is so long, but any advice or personal stories would help out a lot!

My son has a lot of medical conditions, one of them is hearing loss. hes 2 but mentally of a 6 month old. his abr shows mild hearing loss but his behavioral hearing test showed moderate to severe hearing loss. they are now thinking he has some kind of auditory processing disorder but has not been diagnosed with any yet. I want to get him into some kind class to learn asl; but his therapists think that due to his hypotonia & ataxia he will not be able to learn asl. he doesn't talk says baba but nothing else, no other vowel, or constant sounds. hes on disablitiy; and any of the asl classes I find say that because hes not deaf/hard of hearing that he doesn't qualify for it. I was told that he basically falls through the cracks on this one as hes not hearing but hes not deaf either; doctors consider him non-hearing. any one have any tips or places to look into to try to get him to be able to communicate in some way. I have been learning asl, so I know some but not a lot (we just finally found a doctor to take us serious about him not knowing his name, or seemingly like he hears; so he just had the tests done in January)

please any advice would be great! I have reached out to some online deaf communities but as soon as they find out that hes non-hearing then they really don't want to help/ make me feel like im not supposed to be there. so im really lost and just trying to help my son work on this one problem (he has a mystery diagnosis so being able to allow him to communicate will help find out what else is wrong.)

My husband deposited 850 (our rent money) into our bank (chase) 2 days ago. I went to pay our rent online last night & realized the money was not deposited. on the receipt it says deposited into an account with completely different numbers then ours. of course you don't think to check this when they look up your account to deposit them money. We called them last night & they told us to go to the actual bank tomorrow with our receipt. they open soon and we will go down there, but just trying to see our rights in this as rent is due by tomorrow at the latest.

any advice would be appreciated!
