Prayers please for my teenage son who is twice-exceptional -gifted with special needs (childhood apraxia of speech, sensory, and possible high-functioning autism (no diagnosis for any of this though). I haven't been able to get a speech or other solid diagnosis on him. We live in a new state now and need prayers and guidance for new providers. I have a helpful support from my work's special needs benefits program and spoke with a wondeful resoruce last fall. I need the strenght and courage to go through this again. Thankfully, my son talks more verbally than he did last year so that has helped a ton with his learning and getting him caught up. He reads above level, calculates math quickly, types faster than most adults. He needs help with strenghing his communication, talking more and growing his comprehension skills (though these are very very good). He has good receptive language and challeges with getting the words out. He is similar to my ex (his dad) who said his brain moves faster than his mouth. His dad is highly intelligent too with a very well respected job and was a sensory eater too and some other fine motor stuff my son is experiencing. So I KNOW there is hope for my son. My son only has like 10 things he will eat. He is more open over the last year to try new things. Prayers for his health and nutrition. Prayers for me and his stepdad as we continue to love, support, enjoy and lift our sweet son up to God. He really is a very kind and loving soul. Gives great hugs and very empathic which is why his dr said (among other things) he didn't think autism. Thank you.
