TRENTON — Some parents look
back at the moment their child was diagnosed with autism and remember it
as the worst day of their lives. Not Meredith Blitz-Goldstein.
The Verona mother said she already knew there was something seriously
wrong with her 2-year-old son, Matthew. When he spoke, he uttered a
word or two. He seldom made eye contact or slept through the night.
Until he was diagnosed with a milder form of autism known as "pervasive
developmental disorder, not otherwise specified," she didn’t know how to
help him.
"I was very happy to have the diagnosis. I knew the monster I was
dealing with. The diagnosis was like handing me the ticket to go forward," Blitz-Goldstein said.
