[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 727806, member: 1550"] You would have gotten tons of services like we did with the diagnosis. But he can still get services if a neuropsychologist (my fav diagnostician) diagnosis. him with autism. Asperger's is no longer in the Dsm. It is now simply autistic spectrum disorder and even high functioning people with it struggle and suffer badly especially in common sense and the social arena . And they need help and services and if he is willing to go for an intensive diagnosis. and be honest he can still benefit and maybe even qualify for Disability which comes with Medicaid therapy and a case manager and job services. Of course it is up to him to do this evaluation at his age. My son learned many coping mechanisms and at 24 is doing wellw no drugs ever, on his own. The autism interventions work and help to various degrees. He can still get them. It's NOT too late. . Love and hugs. [/QUOTE]
