[QUOTE="Lordofmylife05, post: 257949, member: 7032"] Thank you all so much for your support and encouragement. :sad-very: I have looked into the Asperger's Syndrome and, yes, it fits my son in many ways....I have an appointment with our current counselor this weekend. She agreed to see him every two weeks, instead of every week, for the next six weeks...at least that will help some. My son attends a private school so they resources a public school is supposed to supply for children is not available for my son...figures. I had a talk with the principal yesterday and he said I could "pay" for the IEP and such... I am going to bring up the Asperger's Syndrome with his counselor this weekend and see what she thinks. I'm also going to talk with her about maybe starting some medication, at least for the short term, and see what happens with that. My other problem regarding getting sliding scale assistance is that I make too much money. BUT, I live in Southern California and $59,000 sure doesn't go a long way with rent, private school payments, car, insurance, etc. I just don't have the extra $$ but everytime I've told someone what I make, they kind of chuckle and say, "You SHOULD be able to afford it".... *sigh* It's not like I'm out buying designer clothes or anything...I have to keep him in private school in my area becuase he got kicked out of the YMCA program that serviced the public schools and there are no other after school programs. Thank you everyone for understanding....I really do appreciate knowing I"m not alone. :( [/QUOTE]
