[QUOTE="jal, post: 259850, member: 3477"] Hi JLady - My difficult child is getting along the lines of what DaisyFace mentioned. He's been diagnosis'd Aspergers, mood disorder and sensory processing disorder (SPD). We receive in home intensive therapy 2 times a week. For example difficult child will be starting t-ball soon (he played last year, but has been away from the kids he knows since we placed him in an out of district therapeutic school). They worked with him on creating a social story about how difficult child would approach others and respond. They incorporate learning about emotions and talking about what to do with them with games that they bring. They've helped him to created a sensory box of things that make him safe and happy and calm. They don't sit and lecture or expect him to sit and talk, but they take pieces of what he needs and needs to work on an incorporate them in fun ways so that he gets it in his own way. I have been where you are (before we got the right diagnosis) for many years. It can get better. Does your town have a family guidance center where you may sign up for these services? You may also want to check with DCF Voluntary Services in your state and see if you can get in their program. It was the scariest thing we had to do but DCF offers a lot of assistance with autism through the dept of MR and our team has been awesome. I wish I had started a year ago when it was origianlly recommended to us. Hang in there. [/QUOTE]
