Know you are not alone.
My son has PDD out of the family of Autism
All his life it was hard. I could never ride in the car alone with him
when he was young. He would be outta the car seat in seconds.
By the time he reached age 7 or 8 he was so depressed he wanted to harm himself. (we had lost my grandmother) first of many losses.
Theses kids are so sensative they do not do good with any kind of change. I removed everything like you had said from the house.
He recieved help. But I have to say was only one Dr really helped him. The most. That one taught me ways to help him deal with it and for me too. I hope this is coming out right, As every child is different.
And i know how hard it is. My thoughts are with you.
Things i learned to help him cope. I could not take him where there was to much nosie. It had to be worked in slowly.
I had to speak in a soft voice to him because that got his attention more. That was very hard for me to learn. As my voice tends to go up and down ((stronger at times)) with out me knowing it.
I tryed to keep life to a system for him. So he knew what to expect. IRL thats hard. But i did what i could. With so many ppl being ill and me dealing with it,. Well it was real hard.
He loved dinasours . I mean really loved them. Every book I could find at yard sales trift stores where ever If i could afford them I got them for him. Also rocks. How he loved his rocks. Still does. and robots ....and loved to learn off the history channel and discovery . As his reading was so poor , He learned so much from those 2 channels. I read every book to him that we had. But he needed the visual. Also he needed to be outside. Not with ppl just with nature.
It was along hard road . I know your is . And his . I hope in some way this helps.
Out of 150 children 1 will be born with this every year. I do expect the #s to grow.
Here is a link to vids where I have posted some on it. Hope it helps .
