Is this true? Are we all worrying about Brendan for nothing?

We are in western Mass and have discussed this with our pediatrician. She referred us to Boston children's hospital but our insurance wouldn't cover without a prior authorization. They are currently working on getting that approved and we should hear back next week but the wait list is still going be a few months so he will probably already be in kindergarten before we meet with a doctor there.

He has had ABA services through his early intervention therapists and also through his preschool since he was 1. He's actually had speech, ABA, physical, and occupational therapy 5 days a week since then. Still completely nonverbal.

He makes plenty of sounds but zero words. He has minimal sign language, "more", "help", "all done" and a few others.

First off, thank you so much for taking the time to do an AMA. My son is almost 5 years old. He is non-verbal, not potty-trained and is starting kindergarten in about 4 months. My wife and I have no idea how to get him out of diapers. We've talked to his pediatrician and read countless articles online but so far nothing seems to work. Any advice for us?

Do the protesters think the US has their backs? The US people might, but the ones in charge only care about the money they'd lose if they opposed China. Makes me sad to be American.
