[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 42836, member: 1991"] Have you been able to get him properly assessed for the autism tendencies? Also, how did he score on the informal Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) test on [url="http://www.childbrain.com?"]http://www.childbrain.com?[/url] It's not officially diagnostic but you can print out the results and take it to whichever medical/health professional people you can see with him. We were also offered transport to a special school, but for us it would have been 90 minutes each way, when he was 5. Plus he would get car sick every trip. We said no - I do wonder if it was the right decision. I have a friend whose son was travelling to school and back by taxi, an hour each way. He did very well. They made sure he got his taxi from school and it was door to door service. He's a very bright boy but definitely autistic. Clashing badly with the school, who seem to be taking the approach of "let's be really unpleasant and rigid, that way the kid will eventually leave and go somewhere more appropriate to his needs." What these schools often fail to realise, is there IS nowhere more appropriate. I hope you can get some support soon. Have you read "The Explosive Child" yet? It might at least make it easier for you at home. Good to hear from you again, I've been wondering how you were getting on. Marg [/QUOTE]
