[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 198128, member: 1550"] Lilyth, don't let them do that to you. They tried to do that to me. First we got a private evaluation because the school said, "he's not autistic." Yeah, right. OK, so we got the diagnosis. THAT made all the difference. Then I called a mom who has a son with Aspergers. I was in tears. She told me to call the Dept. of Public Ed and ask for the Special Needs advocate and I did. They called the school and pronto! My son got what we asked for. BUT...you will need a diagnosis first. Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) interventions are specific (and very helpful). I can't tell you how much it helped my son. Our home school had no services so they have to bus him to the next district over and he loves school, does well, even made friends. I'm really pleased. I would not trust the School District further than I could throw them. Sadly, their interest lies in saving $$$, not helping the kids. And they don't really know what is wrong with our kids. We have to really kick tail to get services. I think posting on Special Education 101 would also help you. They rock over there :) I hope I helped you. My mission in life is to help moms NOT make the mistakes WE made because we were so clueless and easily intimidated. Your son is lucky to have you for a mom. I can tell you are a warror mom ;) [/QUOTE]
