[QUOTE="MamaLion, post: 494449, member: 13504"] He has an IEP for "developmental delay" and we got an evaluation by the school. He has a full-time aide but that's still not enough on some days...and he's only in half-day school. I volunteered recently and he was very disruptive and challenged the teacher and aides quite a bit. I have wondered about Aspergers myself. My brother has it, and so do two of my nephews. And an uncle on his Dad's side. Throw in the ADD, alcoholism and borderline personalities and depression on both sides of the family, and you can see why I'm on this board. I think there may be a "partial inpatient" program at the Children's Hospital near us. There is a long waiting list for Medicaid of course. But they do the kind of comprehensive evaluation you all are talking about. I had been counseled away from it by his last school, as they thought it would be too intensive and he might pick up some other behaviors there. But the son of a friend went through it and she was very happy with the results. If I can vent for a minute, it just seems like everyone has an opinion and knows what's best for my kid. And then I feel so judged for not following the course that they think is best. Then my anxiety kicks in and I feel like I can't make any decision at all. My husband is in denial and thinks he's just gifted and bored. It can be so hard to know what to do. [/QUOTE]
