[QUOTE="Fran, post: 205865, member: 3"] Hello and welcome. Learning to be a warrior mom is a gradual process. None of us were born that way. If your child needs you to advocate, you will learn how to do that. It's easier if there isn't a lot of angry talk. I tended to not approach schools as the enemy or the teachers as the bad guys. I figure they are part of the team to help my son. Sometimes they may not know what your difficult child needs but your son is protected by law to get what he is entitled to receive in school. The school district can't argue with the law. Educate yourself, research, ask questions, check in with knowledgeable parents and go to IEP meetings with your information. I am pretty sure there is large autism spectrum research program in your neck of the woods. (I grew up in SW Pa). Once you get your son evaluated, you may want to use them to find out how to help your son. We are glad you found us. We may not have answers but we can share what we know and our experiences. At the very least we give lots of support and you will know that you are no longer alone. [/QUOTE]
