[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 423031, member: 6705"] Question... did the [I]school[/I] evaluate him and decide he doesn't have autism? If so... I would insist on an independent evaluation. Many schools will say a child does not have a problem so they do not have to provide services under IDEA/FAPE. And to build on that - just because he doesn't "have" autism does not mean he's not somewhere on the spectrum. I have a strong suspicion that I am high on the spectrum, myself. Never diagnosis'd. It's [I]rarely[/I] what you saw in "Rain Man". That was an extreme example, good for the movies. And on that note... I [I]still[/I] have issues with skin picking. My cuticles, certainly. Any acne (worst thing you can do, and what do I do?!)... Scabs of any kind. Bumps. Phobias - not many that are irrational... But Onyxx has those. The neon tetras in the aquarium want to eat her - she won't go NEAR the aquarium - she's squashes spiders bigger than these fish. Her other ones, though, come and go and morph a lot. PS - just saw your other post - pervasive developmental disorder and autism spectrum disorder are interchangeable to some... I have a question about the bugs, can you maybe find some in a book to look at, and then give him some power over them? For instance, you kill them, but let him use a broom to sweep them out the door, or flush them...? [/QUOTE]
