ttalucci- There is a book called Healing and Preventing Autism written by Jenny McCarthy and Jerry Kartzinal,M.D. It goes in detail about what may help. Now I know every state is different but you should look at the disability act in you r state. Here in Va. they have to provide Special Ed to all the kids with disability. The school system were I live has to pay for and send my child to a day school the next county over. I hope that this information helps I know that it can be hard dealing with school system.

I would contact your state Advocacy office. Ours in South Dakota has truly been a blessing. They have provided trainings that have helped us be better advocates for our son.

I know that Stephen's hormones made him go through the roof with his active agressive behavior. Starting to hit me and curse at me and tell me that he hates me an also I am fired. He still has his moods. I think he needs to see one but his doctor will not refer me because he is afraid that it would cause more harm than good.

That is what the Klingberg Clinic told me it would take that long but Stephen got in there in a bout 6 weeks. So it was pretty quick.

You many want to look in to what he is eating. My daughter had anxiety attacks before going to school too. Some food don't sit well with ASD kids.
