[QUOTE="DDD, post: 506766, member: 35"] Welcome, Gypsybug. So glad you found us. This is an awesome site with caring and often knowedgable parents. You'll get input from different perspectives and soon you will feel confident to sift through the suggestions and find comfort in your position. Hugs. Yes, we know it is hard. You are already doing many things to advocate for your son. Alot of people don't even recognize that there is any problem until their difficult child's are older. I raised an ADHD and Asperger's grandson for almost nine years. In our case the adhd stimulants were of great help to him and still are. We had four psychiatrists before we found one who was the right fit for our family. It's not easy finding a psychiatrist who listens well and is ready to change medications as needed. been there done that with ten to fifteen minute apts and three month waits for the next appointment. Sigh! I agree that you should request an IEP now instead of waiting until you relocate. It will protect your child, provide services and also give you time to see what seems to work best to help him. When you get to Ca. they will have valuable input for outlining services there, too. Do you have financial resources? Private insurance? If so I would suggest trying to get a complete neuro/psycholical evaluation. The evaluations usually take six to eight hours, are done by experts and provide a complete analysis of capabilities and areas of need. Sorry that my response is so long. I'm just long winded, lol. Again welcome. DDD [/QUOTE]
