[QUOTE="buddy, post: 542885, member: 12886"] Oh gosh Terry! I for sure am not sick of this, you are going through a real crisis time. Of course you are wanting answers, and klmno is probably right, that it is going to be a huge challenge right now because of all of the complicating life factors, all the typical teen stuff piled on. At this point, his having Asperger's is one factor and the things you say, about how he thinks and accommodations you have to make to support him are the important things that just need to be considered in that any type of therapy or schooling would need to be able to use his learning style and work with him regarding any sensory or social challenges that come along with how he takes in information. I think it may be good to assume that it is a piece of the puzzle since you have had that diagnosis for a long time, and use what you know about him to help others get more information about what else is going on with him right now. Just saying he has Asperger's period would not really help right now I think...just random thoughts on this right now, maybe I will change my mind, but what I mean is that everyone with Asperger's is a person first and so it only gives us so much information. what is important is all of those unique things you know about him and how to help him be more successful. He has other issues right now, and it seems like you have been saying that you think he may be Asperger's plus something else. Can you arrange for a neuropsychologist evaluation to help with this placement decision and to sort through where he is right now? I know you dont need one more thing on your plate. Just wondering if that could help add more practical information. I wish there was an answer that would just clear things up once and for all. I just imagine he is that unlucky that he is really high functioning in a few areas and really vulnerable in others, leaving this time of teen age junk so much more complicated. [/QUOTE]
