[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 259230, member: 1233"] Wiz has Aspergers and he cannot live with us. He can handle living with my parents because they are BOTH retired AND he is the only child living there. If he even has thank you and my niece over on different days every day of a week he has problems. He was beating me and trying to attack Jessie when I insisted that he leave our home. My dad is a retired jr high teacher who had JUST retired when they took Wiz to live with them. He could physically intimidate Wiz AND was twice as stubborn (Gpa is an undx'd Aspie himself) as Wiz. My mom provides the civilizing influences and much of the social skills stuff. so ti works. But yes, there ARE parents who are not bad parents who have kids on the autistic spectrum who cannot have them live at home safely. Our pediatrician knows of 2 other families here who have needed out of home placement for kids diagnosis'd with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). I know because she asked me what we did to get a placement for Wiz. The dev pediatrician we saw has had several kids who had to be placed - and this was as of the time we last saw him - a few years ago due to insurance changes. Since our pediatrician and the dev pediatrician practice over 70 miles apart, well, I don't think these are the same kids. It is actually quite common for kids with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) to get very frustrated and lash out. They can't communicate their wants or needs as well, esp as tehy get older and sexual desires become a factor and social demands are so much more complicated. So do NOT feel bad if you need to find an out of home placement. There is no guilt in it if the best you can do is not what your child needs. Sometimes we just have to belong to a family of different addresses. [/QUOTE]
