[QUOTE="'Chelle, post: 351304, member: 1161"] Just wanted to add my hi! :bigsmile: My son too started to have a lot of problems at 7, and also got the well there's something odd, but no diagnosis. I know that at one meeting Aspergers was tossed out by one person at a school meeting back then, but she was a new TA and I think was disregarded by everyone. I will have to say I think I was totally overwhelmed and just thought that all the "professionals" would know what they were doing and went along. Took until my difficult child was 11 and finding this place for me to say hey this isn't right and get him re-evaluated by a specialist. He's doing pretty good now, almost 17 :anxious: . Anyway, I just want to say make sure you become a strong advocate for your difficult child. If your instincts are saying something is going on, something more than likely is. Get him evaluated by the best you can, push for accomodations at school. If he is Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), earlier interventions are better. Saying 'if only' doesn't much help now, so I try not to, but I do believe difficult child and his feelings about school would have been much different if I'd pushed when he was 7. Welcome to the site, and I'm sure you'll find lots of advice and an ear to vent to when you need it. It's a great bunch here :flower: [/QUOTE]
