[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 591078, member: 1550"] Just one last comment and of course JMO. You probably can't help him on your own. He probably has autism. And my son had a diagnosis. of Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified and your son is way behind where mine was at his age, so it doesn't seem to be a high functioning form. I really don't understand why you want to or think that you can help him without professionals when he is already eight and still isn't talking. I know how frustrating Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) can be (because it's shorter, I'm going to call it Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)), but I truthfully don't think taking him out of school and cutting his services is going to help him with the issues he faces. Speech, for example, can stagnant then increase...worth a try, right? As for the behaviors, much of that is his frustration with not being able to communicate and, in general, being different. He knows he is different. Does he socialize at all? Is he in anything like Special Olympics or a homeschooling social group? Boy Scouts? Swimming? Art? Anything were he can express himself without talking? Have you or anyone else ever tried sign language? My son did that when he was a toddler and it was very helpful and stopped a lot of meltdowns too. It was his way of "talking" until he could actually talk. Ever join a group of parents who have kids with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) traits? At any rate, after this post I am bowing out of this thread as I have no ideas on how you can help him completely on your own. I do wish you all the luck in the world though :)! [/QUOTE]
