My son is #HardOfHearing and #autisic . He’s also been genetically tested and we’ve been told he has a partial deletion of his 13th chromosome. He is 2 years old and since the age of 18 months he’s absolutely REFUSED to wear his hearing aids. Is there any hope he will communicate for me? I work with sign language, but his eye contact is very inconsistent. He also has a hard time with finger isolation at this time, so (pecs) or an iPad for communication also hasn’t worked. Any advice or just any words of hope would be great! #Deaf #Autistic #chromosome13deletion #13q12 .11 #HearingAids #AutismSpectrumDisorder
