Comment by Dr. S on November 25, 2011 at 11:09am: Drs. Fernetted and Brock, a friend of mine sent me this off of youtube a month ago. Her son was diagnosed with Autism- but she and I are reconsidering his diagnosis( that is an understatement) -- I think he falls under the" Dyslexic umbrella"--but when he was diagnosed at 15 months and not talking---that is where he was placed. Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving. Love that video.
