I think dressing well but he still prefers his old clothes which can be short - trousers

Has anyone been a part of the Talisman Transitions program in Hendersonville, NC? My son is 20 years old, graduating from community college in the spring 2013, and will transfer to university in the near future. However, we would like to find out more about this program before he ages out of it.

My son is currently in what they call Early Childhood Special Education Program at our local Elementary School. I'll like to believe he will eventually transition to the regular school system program but I'm curious to hear if this similar situation may have happen with any of your kids. In other words, is it something possible to transition from special education program to regular one?

For the people who have kids who are going to or graduated from high school how was it for them? Did they take regular classes? With autism on the rise I hope the work force does not discriminate against them as adults? Hope you all have a blessed day and thank you for reading my question.

Rachel washes the dishes and will dry her hands in the middle 100 times. She will put gloves on to push the stuff down the food disposal, She doesn't do clay, play do or anything like that any more and when she does I can see she is doing it to get through it not to have fun. Getting her to participate in things is next to impossible because she doesn't like surprises. She likes to know what is coming. I understand this is typical but doesnt mean it should stop her. it does.

My 26 month old has gotten pretty good about laying down for bed when I put him in his crib. Should I transition him to a toddler bed soon? Is sooner better? Anyone recently done this? I'm worried he will get up during the night and I won't know it if he isn't contained in his crib.
