Max went for his 2 year well child check up on May 28th. Weight 25 1/2 pounds (20%)
Height 35 1/4 inches (75%)
Head Circumference 20 1/4 inches (95%)
As many of you already know we have been concerned about Max's delay in speech for a couple of months now. Our Parents As Teachers educator has told us that Max is significantly delayed in speech and is regressing in the little speech he already had. He has been demonstrating a few "red flags" that associate him with possibly being on the autism spectrum. I discussed these concerns with his pediatrician at his 2yr check up. They complete evaluations for autism at every child's 18month and 2 year check up. After talking with him about our concerns and the physician completing his evaluation Dr. Graham is referring us to a Developmental/Behavioral Pediatrician for an autism evaluation.

He's so dang cute!
And I must say that given all of the circumstances, I think you're dealing with it all really well! (At least it seems like you are; I haven't exactly seen your or spoke with you in person about it all...)
Shelley, I'm posting this on your blog in case anyone else might come across it and would need the info.
I met a woman recently that is a specialist working with children with autisim. She was so generous with her time and wanted me to give you this information. There is a bookstore in Shawnee Mission, KS. called The Autisim Asperger Publishing Company. There is a woman who runs it with her husband by the name of Brenda Miles that is highly regarded in this field. She has written many books on the subject and one in particular that you might be interested in...The Potty Journey.
Check out their website.
