[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 494476"] If he is on the spectrum, and that is very likely, stims can make things worse for some kids with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). It sounds like you need to get to a neuropsychologist soon. I would defintely get the school to add Occupational Therapist (OT) and Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) services going. What we are talking about is a 1:1 evaluation with a neuropsychologist or a team of specialists. There is no one there for him to pick up any behaviors. I would not send him to a partial program until a proper evaluation is done and you know what you are dealing with. In the meantime, the school HAS to provide whatever the TEAM (including you) agree your son needs. If you need to change something or add something, you call an IEP meeting. If you seriously think it is Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), then you can start working with him as if he does. It might actually work. A wrong diagnosis can cause HUGE problems with many schools. Ours and now Buddy's are aweful. The problem with ours is that once we got the correct diagnosis, the school refused to accept the new diagnosis and held on for dear life to the old diagnosis that was WAY off base. Good luck and {{{{(((HUGS)))}}}} to you both. [/QUOTE]
