Kate After Autism

Kate During Recovery

She was just fine until her 18month immunization shot and she immediately began to fade away from us after that. She was completely non-verbal until almost 3 years old. She received therapy in our home form the age of 2 till 3. At 3 she entered a developmental delay program at our local public school. She continued on in the program until this year. She became mainstreamed for kindergarten. She is on a special needs cheerleading squad in which she became a National Champion last year!!! When we first started she had a helper and covered her ears and ran and cried the entire time..

now she is totally on her own and loving every minute of it.

We have been taking her to a bio-medical Dr. for about a year now and it has been a GOD send. She is social, verbal, interacting and no more outburst. I can remember leaving baskets full of groceries in the middle of the store and walking out in tears because of her meltdowns. I don't think we ate out at a restaurant for almost 2 years. She is not the same child she was even a year in a half ago. Through love, support, hard work and most importantly prayer, we are going to overcome this thing! I could go on and on for hours about her and her progress, we are blessed beyond measure! I like to say she is the color in my black and white world!
