I am continually fighting with the school here for the to get better educated to deal with children like mine. I refuse for them to not be in a regular classroom settling even though they have my youngest in an ES classroom.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527055659904040434.post-58014896152535738112011-12-10T07:44:26.583-08:002011-12-10T07:44:26.583-08:00You bet early intervention is key.

At least in the area I live in, there are NO Autism specialists who work with these kids who are so high-functioning that it takes time to get an accurate diagnosis. We are told over & over that if he were 8 or younger, he would be getting services. I'm still fighting, because he does need therapy for emotional regulation & obsessive thoughts, but it's an uphill battle.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527055659904040434.post-27034777496468591902009-12-27T12:47:19.261-08:002009-12-27T12:47:19.261-08:00Thanks for your post!
