Autism

Okay, so the subject is stark and unadorned.  Just like what I have to say. 

Because of Evan's still-significant delays in speech, and some behaviors that alerted me, we requested an assessment by a developmental pediatrician. 

After she did her assessment, her conclusion was that Evan exhibited mild to moderate signs of autism. 

Even though I was prepared for this diagnosis, I am currently trying to plan for all that comes next. 

Luckily, he's not yet 2 1/2 and early intervention can be a big help.
