[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 312037, member: 1550"] This is my advice. 1/Do NOT medicate him because the school wants you to. That is insane. They don't exactly hire the best and brightest psychologists and a psychologist from a SD wouldn't know Aspergers if it hit him in the face, for the most part. No school can insist you medicate a child. By the way, you described an Aspie to the letter. My son uses long, big words and sounds like a professor...lol. He can be sociable, but he's quirky. He had a lot of help to come as far as he has (he's sixteen), but we had to really fight HARD. 2/Trust the neuropsychologist and insist on interventions. Call your state dept. of public education and get the name of the free parent advocate in your area. Every area has one and the SD won't tell you about them because they don't WANT somebody at IEP meetings with you who actually know when they are breaking the law or taking you for a ride. 3/If necessary ask the State Dept. of Public Ed's personal advocate to help you. I'm so sorry you are going through that. It's insane. We had to fight the good fight ourselves to get the right services for our Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) son. The school was beyond clueless and tried to argue with us, but he is our fourth child and we already knew what to do to get his needs met. By the way, welcome to the board but sorry you have to be here :raspberry-tounge: [/QUOTE]
