[QUOTE="nvts, post: 281574, member: 3814"] Hey! I'd get the neuropsychologist done before I moved him. I took my 10 yr old out when he was 6 and put him in different programs. Since he's an aspie, he ended up picking up all of the "less than desireable" behaviors from a lot of the other kids. Turns out that he should never have been allowed into the other schools because their programs were designed for "emotionally disturbed children". He was considered ODD, but in reality it was anxiety that was causing his "posturing" and trying to sound tough. If it is in fact Aspergers and not bipolar (which, because of difficult child 1's behavior they were really considering - but once they figured out he's basically shall we say "testy" all the time and doesn't show high's and low's they ruled it out) putting him in with kids not on the spectrum could increase his behavioral problems. Just a thought! You might want to check into the following website: [URL]http://www.njcommunityresources.info/commres.html[/URL] They have a bunch of links to non-profits in New Jersey as well as government links for a variety of services. Scroll down and you'll see the ARC of New Jersey - their an advocacy group that may be able to help you with educational issues. Keep plodding away, and keep posting here - I've learned so much in such a short time - these people are amazing! Beth [/QUOTE]
