[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 336331, member: 1550"] You need to get a private neuropsychologist evaluation and fight for services. The school psychologist isn't qualified to say whether or not he is autistic. You are doing good on the home front, but Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids usually do not do well unless they have an aid in the general population of school. Worse, they often get considered "bad" when they are not. Don't let them talk you into thinking he is just a problem child. He has a very real disorder and the school needs to help him. And they have dropped the ball. That's where you and your advocacy come in... You are young, but don't let them bully you because of that. Call your state Dept. of Public Education (usually in state capital). Ask for the Special Needs advocate. Tell them your problem and ask for the FREE advocate in your district. The school tends to act a lot different when you walk into an IEP meeting with an advocate. Also, bring your private evaluations. They count too. And don't back up or give in. [/QUOTE]
