Alan and I would like to thank everyone for the calls, emails, and prayers that we have received today. We felt touched and confident by what some of you had to say.
After a three-hour process of being interviewed and Riley being evaluated, the Developmental Pediatrician confirmed what we have thought for awhile. She said that Riley was moderately autistic and just barely made the scale. (The scale starts at 30 being moderate and he was at 31 1/2.) He is high-functioning and will continue to learn through therapy and everyday interaction.
Now, this may not sound like GREAT news but we are very encouraged by some of the things that she had to say. It is crucial that Riley starts developing language more and more and every second is going to count now to make sure that he is successful.
We will keep you posted on his progress and would like continued prayers for Riley and our family
