Glad you took some time to wrestle with all of this and that you came to a better place. God is in control of all things. We are praying for Harrison. And, like Christy, I think it is young for imaginative play also. Every kid is different, and I am not a doctor, but I do think it is early to worry. I knew a child once who definitely seemed to have characteristics of autism. There were different opinions about him from different doctors. When he was tested by the school system after he was older, his IQ was really high and he was placed in GT classes. With the extra challenges in school, he began to come around. He still had some social delays, but did not have learning problems. I know there is the whole savant (sp?) thing, but I'm pretty sure they ended up ruling out autism altogether. Again, I am praying for you guys!!!Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09170417857274464521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5069774620125797308.post-56342633044879323872008-07-25T17:59:00.000-07:002008-07-25T17:59:00.000-07:00Wow Rachel, you were beginning to worry me at the ...Wow Rachel, you were beginning to worry me at the beginning of your post talking about "The Secret" and all. I personally think Oprah has LOST HER MIND these last few years.<BR/><BR/>I was soooo relieved to read the conclusion you came to. YOU cannot cause these things to happen if it is not in God's will for them to happen. HE IS sovereign!!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for walking us through your thoughts!Marcihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11136659990809327140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5069774620125797308.post-722522695965850822008-07-23T18:26:00.000-07:002008-07-23T18:26:00.000-07:00Amen sister!!

Seems a little early to me to be looking for a serious imagination. <BR/>But, I'm not a doctor.

Did I deserve this because it had never crossed my mind to be worried and because I never wanted to hear the sad stories???? In the end, we just aren't in control over all of these things.
