[QUOTE="paperplate, post: 578646, member: 15831"] yeah, it's going to be different. Kind of reminds me of nanny 911, LOL. It's considered home based services. If nobody else has heard of it, then we must be total mess over here! But I'm desperate. My fear is that if my DS13 can't get under control (especially with me being a 'single' parent now), he'll wind up a big MESS of an adult! I don't ever want to get one of those phone calls that DS has been arrested for 'such and such', but that's where we are headed. Mainly because he doesn't even understand that the stuff he does isn't 'socially acceptable' behavior. He's been beat up by other peers more times than I count, mainly because of the things he says. And the sad part is, that because he 'looks' completely normal, it's hard for the other kids to grasp that there's anything 'off'. The problem is a LOT of stuff pointed to autism at a young age : Developmental delays, therapy as toddler to get him walking, large head, milk allergies, not understanding facial expressions, speech evaluations etc...but at NO POINT did the peds doctor say 'autism'.
