[QUOTE="Liahona, post: 529620"] We have an autism specialist that has been seeing difficult child 2 and difficult child 3 for years. She helped difficult child 1 get into the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) that his therapist said was great but almost impossible to get into. She is very positive and does not judge me on the state of my house. There is also a family facilitator (someone paid by the state to connect families with resources) that has had 10 kids most of them mentally ill that helps me a lot. Just talking to her helps. Our pediatrician was essential in recognizing that difficult child 2 had autism. He picked it up about 8 months old and spent the next year trying to get us to take difficult child 2 to the autism specialist. He has also ordered tests to make sure we aren't missing anything medical wise that would look like autism. The autism pre-school that difficult child 2 and difficult child 3 went to has been instrumental in getting difficult child 2 to function on a mild instead of sever level. And they taught us lots about how to deal with autism. It was the one place that we felt completely comfortable. It was o.k. and safe for our kids to be themselves. difficult child 1's school teacher from the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) helped greatly with it came time to discharge from the Residential Treatment Center (RTC). He talked to the school district about what works with difficult child 1. And the last one is a bit usual; our lawyer. He has an autistic kid himself and without him x would've destroyed our family life. [/QUOTE]
