So my daughter has a speech delay, and a few sensory issues. I've had to push every step of the way and advocate to get her the referals and evaluations and resources she needs. When she turned 3 a few weeks ago we enrolled her in the Special Needs Preschool at her Elementary School. This have gone great, she loves it there, I see improvedment already. I have really liked both of her teachers. Its been a great experience until this morning. Yesterday I asked her teachers to keep an eye on toe walking. She had been referred for an evaluation for developmental issues, meaning autism testing. This doesn't upset me, but the main reason was because of toe walking, so I let her teachers know, and please let me know how much she does it in class. Because while she does do it, its random and not often.Here is what happened the next morning. One of the teachers pulled me aside and starting telling me that she has talked to her daughter (important in a minute,) her husband and the other teacher and they have prayed about our situation. Then proceeded to tell me I need to pray about this and told me her daughters story. When her daughter was a baby (now 17) she had a reaction to a vaccine that caused her to have severe seizures at the age of 9 month. Going forward they altared her vaccine schedule. And at the age of 17 she finally was up to date on vaccines. But because of the seizures she had short term memory loss. And that I need to pray about what is best for Ollie is a altered vaccine schedule.Now, my daughter had a lot of issues at birth, she spent time in the NICU and was born a little early at 37 weeks, weighing 5lbs and was not breaking at birth and continued to stop breathing at times after birth. But I have followed all doctor recommendations and she is always up to date on her vaccines. She's never had any problems, not even a elevated temp.The next thing to know me is I'm not religious, but I'm not against it or anyone. The fact that a public school teacher is bringing God up to me doesn't bother me nearly as bad as the " unsolicited medical advice"? It felt like she was telling me these vaccines are not good and do cause autism or developmental delays and that I needed to pray instead of seeking real medical. I didn't say anything at the time. But really? WTF? via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/331Erp7
