[QUOTE="nvts, post: 281474, member: 3814"] ML! My heart goes out to you. Allow yourself to grieve, but I urge you to keep something in mind: Medical Doctors are hesitant to tell you that a cold is just a cold because if they're wrong, they've inflicted more damage. Now, considering that: unless there's a DEFINATE (physical or handicaps such as mental retardation that are clearly evident such as Downs Syndrome) a psychiatrist or therapist won't be committed to a result at such a young age. With Aspies, social skills are extremely important. Have you gotten him into any type of social skills classes? Learning to function within society will lessen a lot of his anxieties, frustrations and anger that he's existing with now. The right counselor will be key as well. Don't put the cart before the horse - you've been dealt a blow, but you have to believe that there are better things coming down the road to you and your family - it's important to our survival to keep this in the back of your head. Feel better my friend - Beth [/QUOTE]
