[QUOTE="ML, post: 372957"] I guess it's not *that* bad which is part of the reason he's gone so long. Other kids think he has an accent and don't even realize it's a speech impediment. I think as he's getting older it's more noticable but I'm just mom. Manster has a 504, not an IEP and I think that's the difference in terms of school not providing support. That's the battle I may take on this year; making the leap to an IEP. I think you all may have picked up on the fact that I'm battle fatigued. You may remember that intially the AS diagnosis was ruled out about 4 years ago and then subsequently the psychiatrist we switched to afterwards agreed that he was on the spectrum but never changed the diagnosis "on the books" and now we are back to the psychiatrist we had before because we lost the better insurance with husband's job and had to switch back. I'm not sure what to do at this point to get it official. At this point I am convinced that having the spectrum diagnosis will open up more services. At the time the supports we had in place seemed to be adequate for the most part. The ADHD/Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)/Tourette's Syndrome/Anxiety isn't going to cut it. Sheesh you would think that's enough. Thanks for the great suggestions and support. [/QUOTE]
