[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 503486"] I can't even get services for difficult child 1 with the Asperger's diagnosis he has technically been given so far. I'm waiting for psychiatrist to decide if he's more on the spectrum than that. Our county case manager is coming on Tuesday with plans to close his case because "there are no other services he needs".....ummm.....according to who? They have respite (THEIR only "option" is a week-end in a behavioral residential treatment) and community social skills which is 1:1 with a person who INSISTED difficult child 1 was just being defiant when it turned out to be caused by medications so difficult child 1(with my approval) fired him. I can't get any other services because his symptoms aren't "bad enough". Never mind that we have regular weekly Occupational Therapist (OT) & speech appts along with the fact that I can't work because difficult child 1 needs constant supervision AND I had to pull him out of public school because they WOULDN'T believe the behavior was not intentional defiance & opposition. I wonder what's going to happen out here in nowheresville with services when the new definitions take affect. [/QUOTE]
