[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 740069, member: 1550"] I just noticed you do t use U.S spelling. Since things are done differently in different countries may I ask where you live? Maybe somebody who also lives in your country has better ideas. Our schools have to deal with all children, regardless of severity of disability but I dont know what its like where you reside. On speech therapy, my son did not speak much until age 5. He was in speech since very young even teaching him to properly use his tonque, but nothing cost us anything. The therapists were all part of the community services or in school. Sounds pricey for you. That is too bad. My sons outbursts stopped once he could communicate. He also required occupational therapy and social skills classes which were all part of his rights in school and the community. His IQ is normal too but he was not penalized for that. I am sorry it is so hard to get help. Part of autism is extreme difficulty with transitioning. Now my son is 25 and transitions when he has to. But it was slow going when he was young. I did not work. I could not have worked or been on a demanding schedule and also helped my son. But I was married so we lived on one income. I found ways to help my son transition but he also helped himself and although he was in a regular school he was in a small special education class where he thrived. He had some mainstream classes with an aide. I dont know how to do this without a very flexible job or not working. These kids can not always respond to normal schedules, so we cant either unless somebody else helps us. They can not all conform to social norm schedules until they have had interventions. My son always went to school but he I think my son may have been less severe. Not that it was always smooth but again he had continuous help for his differences. They are treating your son as if he has mental illness rather than testing for neurological differences such as autism. Can you take him to a Neuro Psychologist instead of a regular paychologist? They did ten hours of testing on my son. It pinpointed his problem. Mental health therapy didnt resonate with my son. He needed autism interventions. This changed him! Keep the faith! [/QUOTE]
