[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 378124, member: 1550"] Hi. Sorry things are rough now. It won't help if your child does have a form of autism and he is with the emotionally disturbed kids, who can be extremely rough to work with. And it won't help to be with autistic kids or be labeled as such if he doesn't fit into the spectrum. But I would stand back and not have any preconceived notions of what your child's diagnosis is and I personally wouldn't allow the school district to make a diagnosis...they are usually wrong. For exmaple, there is no diagnosis such as "emotionally disturbed." If a child acts out, there is a reason beyond that...a neurological or psychiatric disorder that is most likely inherited from somewhere (do NOT however blame yourself). Ever! All kids on the spectrum behave differently and your twelve year old may be very different from your younger kiddo, but they can still both be affected. It does tend to run in families. I personally greatly favor private NeuroPsychs for diagnostics. They do 6-10 hours of testing and rule in/out everything and tend to get it right more often than other professionals. Lots of us favor NeuroPsychs. You can find them at children's and university hospitals. Good luck, whatever you decide to do ;) [/QUOTE]
