am a mom of 3. I have a girl who is 6, and twin boys who are 3. One of the twins has a rare chromosome deletion (8p23.1 to be exact). He has similarities of an autistic child, yet is different is other ways as well. He cannot talk yet, has a severe learning delay (evaluated at a 9 month old level), and also has several food allergies. He has been in therapy since he was 15 months old, and now attends a special needs preschool. Our family has been struggling financially. My husband works two jobs that unfortunately isn't enough. We, for some reason, did not qualify to receive SSI for our son with special needs, but I'm told I should keep applying anyway. Both our boys are in diapers still and our grocery bill is HUGE because of the allergy issue. Our house is currently in foreclosure, and I'm just trying to get any kind of help that may be out there. I'm looking for help with diapers, they use Pampers size 6 (one is allergic to the dye in other brands). I am also looking for any kind of sensory related toys to help our son with special needs. I found an awesome website from a parenting magazine called bellybumboutique.com, but am not picky about where the toys come from as long as they can help improve my sons sensory issues. He has oral fixations, and is very skittish about soft, gooey, or mushy textures which also limits his diet. He hand feeds himself, but cannot and will not use utensils to eat with. I appreciate any help provided. Thank you for taking the time to read my wish.
