So, do you still think I am crazy?

I had a good PT session today with G. and our EI therapist. He pretty much did what he was supposed to do, although he grumbled through almost everything. His whining while crawling up the stairs was particularly impressive. She brought over a laminated book that EI had made of our trips with the BB program. No matter how many times she tried, he was unable to identify me as his mama. He got Papa right, of course.

I am getting this rather unnerving feeling though that EI is becoming more concerned as I become more calm about his development. The PT mentioned transitioning to the school system for help when G. turns three and what that entails. I kind of half-listened at first, since he is just over a year old and we may not even be living here when he is three.

Then it hit me--she thinks he'll need therapy on a more long-term basis. I questioned her about it, and she said it was just so hard to tell at this age how long of a proposition therapy was likely to be. She mentioned that kids with gross motor issues often have problems later with writing or reading. Great...

I also brought up the subject of asd/Asperger's once again. In the past, I have been dismissed with statements about how social he is, how verbal he is and how he is doing well in every other area except gross motor. Today she just was not as reassuring and it made me worry. She also mentioned wanting to see the dev. ped.'s report, to see what she thought. Maybe she is just tired of me wanting so much assurance that he is okay. Maybe she just wishes that I would shut up and could barely get the professional courtesy together to answer my questions for the umpteenth time. If she has serious concerns, I just want her to tell me.

I want G. to be totally "normal," whatever that is, but if we end up with a diagnosis of some sort, I want to get him any help he needs. And I want that help to start as soon as possible.
