[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 115758, member: 1233"] I totally understand your ire at the "professionals" who left you hanging in the wind. We ended up educating teachers and even doctors about aspergers (try taking an aspie in for any medical testing - IF they cooperate they you can have days or weeks of meltdowns over it later). Aspergers is NOT the end of the world. Your son can still go on and achieve, you just have to learn what he needs. You can help him find what he needs, and there is quite a bit of time before he turns 18 for you to take him in for help. You might try occupational therapy for sensory issues. Most Aspies have some, don't like textures, or clothes, or tags or foods or whatever because how they hit on their senses. Even though 16 is kind of late, we did find brushing helped our difficult child (it was ordered for his little bro, but we tried it on all the kids thinking it couldn't hurt - WOW! It really helped us. He became more tolerant. Take a deep breath, at least you have an answer finally. Some parents wait 40 or more years with-o finding the answers. Take time to process the anger, realize it is justified, and then work to help your son. Try reading The Explosive Child, by Ross Greene, and anything by Tony Attwood. Sending hugs, Susie [/QUOTE]
