[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 538458, member: 1550"] Oh, heck, yes, time is your friend. If he is at all spectrumish, these kids, even the lowest functioning tend to improve A LOT with interventions. My son is getting adult services now, but, really, he is so much more functional than we ever dreamed and will be able to live alone with assitance, find some work, and have a full life (HIS definition of one...often their ideas of a full life do not match ours). I have found that kid with these similar challenges have wonderful hearts. I don't know where they came up with spectrumish kids not being affectionate. My son doesn't really like to be touched that much, but he has a heart of gold. When he heard that my oldest son is going through a divorce and lonely, he piped up, "Mom, that makes me really sad. Maybe I should go down there and live with him so he has company." This is very typical of Sonic...he hurts when others hurt. I find this true of a lot of his acquaintances who have "differences" much like he does. I think V will grow up to have a great life...you are on the ball with him and his services and, like most of these kids who are similar, his heart is really in the right place. Many of our kids outgrow their behavioral challenges. Be positive. You have a great kid with a lot of potential locked inside, regardless of his actual diagnosis :) Huggles :) Pam [/QUOTE]
