[QUOTE="welcometowitsend, post: 525715, member: 14356"] Hello Familymum, I'm Canadian also. Welcome to the boards but sorry you need to be here. I'm new here as well and have found everyone to be very supportive with lots of good advice and insight. I hope you find the answers you are looking for and get the help you need. It sounds like your son is in a great school. My only advice to you would be to start making phone calls and asking questions so you can get as much information as quickly as possible. I found I really had to push the school board and school to put things in place for my easy child daughter (she has Learning Disability (LD)'s). It does sound like your sons school is great but I would do that anyway in case they put up a wall at some point - then you will know your child's rights. I'd also google a local Learning Disability (LD) association in your area. They often have information about support groups, advocates and that kind of thing for parents with kids with Learning Disability (LD)'s as well as AS. I know in Ontario that once they are 16 years old they can leave home, refuse treatment of any kind, etc.. I'm not sure of the Quebec laws but I would assume they are the same. Anyway, the sooner you can get things into place for your son and get them working for him the sooner he will see the benefits and hopefully buy into the program / medications or whatever it is. Best wishes to you. [/QUOTE]
