[QUOTE="bangalee, post: 27019, member: 3539"] Get this, The only place I was told I could go to in my area was a place called youth services bureau. The councilor at school didn't even have time for me...anyway, I found out the hard way a couple years ago before my son was diagnosed with AS that this was not for us. In Junior High They considered my son a trouble maker and so I was sent to YSB. In order for me to receive help for him I had to sign a contract that stated that if he did not follow everything that they wanted him to do I would be in breach and they could take legal action against me. Such as jail time. Now how stupid is that If I could get him to do what I wanted him to do, do you think I would need help from them? And it's like we have come full circle. He missed the bus again this morning. I had to take him to school, I found out that he hates his first 2 classes. He said they were boring. I don't know what to do about this, He's only got a little while left in the school year so pulling him from these classes even if I wanted to is not an option. The classes are Art and English. He's very talented in both subjects, but not motivated about either. [/QUOTE]
