My son was not diagnosed with ASD until he was 11, he is now almost 13. Prior to that he was diagnosed with ADHD and ODD. After a reevaluation this summer it was determined he has Asperger's and ADHD. He has always had difficulty with aggression, but some of the more obvious ASD behaviors have increased since starting puberty. (More perseveration, vocal stimming, tantrums, threats, entering others personal space). The school has refused to acknowledge that his behaviors are due to Autism… read more
Thanks everyone! We submitted a request today for an independent educational evaluation so he can receive an Functional Behavioral Assessment from an impartial provider. The school isn't… read more

She is only a sophmore, but we thought we better start now so we can do our research and narrow it down to two or 3. She doesn't have a specific degree in mind so we are pretty open - any ideas where to start?

My 5y/o who was diagnosed with autism at age 3 has really bad aggression problems. Her behavior in every aspect is basically horrible. She hits and bites and is really awful to her sister. She knows it's things she is not supposed to do. When I punish her: put her in time out, take away her special toy, make her play alone, have a talk with her about the problem, let sissy do something special without older sister... She just laughs at me then screams like I broke her leg or something. Nothing… read more
@A MyAutismTeam Member; thank you, that does offer hope. Can't wait :) although we have had a decent couple of days.
And than accuses you of lying to the Dr. For a diagnosis?! Takes him to a family D.O. Who has never seen him before and says "he's fine. Your mother is just crazy"....
To this day, my husband still doesn't believe his 15yr old son has autism, and he was diagnosed at 24 mos. I don't fight him on this, because if I had, I would've lost valuable time. I just went… read more
Please, if there is any other parents who have gone in the direction of group home and have made some headway with it, let me know. I'm struggling so bad. My son has been away for maybe 6 months now. I don't even know. I need other points of reference to get perspective.
Thank you.
We have her home on the weekends and extra days on holidays, other than that she lives at a home minutes away from the school. The homes are run by the school
I am looking for three things.
One, is parents with children of adult children on the spectrum
Two, other grandparents with very high functioning ASD children.
Three, other elderly adults on the spectrum.
@ LuAnnGriffin,
Do you know about transition services? My son has very high functioning Asperger's. He has come so far and is so blessed! My son is 30 years old an just getting his permanent driving… read more
It means their problems aren't very severe. They can usually grow up to take care of themselves and marry etc. They may have quirks.. like social issues or quiet or smart etc.
My daughter apparently does not have a physical disability based on their criteria of a "physical disability". My child is on a spectrum that sure involves some limitations that affect her physically .
