[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 256176, member: 1550"] My son is on the spectrum. He didn't speak until he was 4 1/2. He had some wild and crazy rages as a young 'un. He has a no homework clause in his IEP. Any homework he has is done in an Learning Disability (LD) study hall he has at school. When he was younger he was in Special Education. It helped him more thakn anything. Now he is almost 16, completely mainstreamed and on the honor roll. I think early Special Education is very important for spectrum kids because they need to learn (one-on-one) study skills, how to see the "big picture", how to take notes, etc. Plus they are easily distracted and this can get much better as they get older, but it doesn't help to know that when they are young and struggling. My son had an aide for his "outise Special Education" classes too and she was invaluable in helping him learn how to take notes and socialize. Today he has a group of friends he sits with at lunch and good self-esteem. I recommend going slow with a spectrum kid in the school system. It could pay off BIG when he's older. These kids have different learning styles and needs and can REALLY improve, but they need A LOT of very intensive and one-on-one help. Welcome to the board :) [/QUOTE]
