LKS

Hello all just wondering if there is a forum for LKS or if anyone has any resonse to our story? Have a great day!

Our son just turned 5 and developed and reached all milestones normally, around 15 months we noticed that the few words he did have he didn't say anymore.. Long story short after many autism test and hearing test that he passed all of and no doctor wanted to label him autistic we met with a neurologist just before he turned 3 and there were confirmed abnormalities on his overnight eeg we started kepra and that has been about a year and a half now and his recent eeg was beautiful the dr said. He has regained things like waving giving high fives and he follows directions. He started kindergarten today and he has been in preschool structured learning for the past 2 years and this year he will be integrated with general ed kinder in hopes that being around other students his age who are speaking will help to trigger his talking.. Just wondering if anyone has had any experience similar?
