[QUOTE="totoro, post: 94972, member: 3155"] 4sumrzn- I was talking about both... we could not get services at school, they don't really aknowledge mental illness, unless she is completely out of control. Out of school every service we have tried has been dificult to get. We have been told on numerous occasions that if she were Autistic they could help us- Social services, respite, therapy, even the mental health dept... Some places will take us on her ADHD diagnosis or Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) diagnosis... some won't take her at all... just flat out refuse, "We only work with Autism" I don't really care about the cost... it is the point. The school kept asking, well is she Autistic??? Like I said I am SO glad that Autism is being addressed, but every special needs child needs to be helped regardless... [/QUOTE]
