Guest guest Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 In my humble opinion these are the most important question to ask yourself. (in bold below)..and then proceed with with your questions...and without sabataging yourself for sure...Ask us questions before...I know Trishanne would be terrific in giving you specifics...and or an outline of sorts. I am willing to do this as well. We do know how fragile you feel. "If you asked for the meeting what did you request it for? " (in other words, stay focused on the reason why you are there, continue to go back to that truth).... I love the below as well, Tishanne...you are a great communicater! "If it was in regards to ,ask only questions or for input about . Be careful not to self sabatoge. Do not elicit negative responses. Write down 3 topics in regards to and school you want to cover. Announce it to all present and get thier input. Be a listener. At this point I would ask yourself "can I do this alone". Re: I need support ..

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 Thanks Tishanne! I will look into this! I have Kathy though and she is good and going to be an advocate! I will look in the phone book too!Stacie Sent via BlackBerry by AT&TDate: Sun, 12 Oct 2008 01:09:17 -0000To: <AutismBehaviorProblems >Subject: Re: I need support Stacie,have you spoke with a child advocate or autism advocate? There should be a hotline or center phone number in your city phone book. This office may have a name, line of their own. Look under advocate,child advocate ect. Could you ask your friend who has the 17yr child for a resource phone number? An advocate will go with you,outline the meeting and handle most uncomfortable situations with ease. Usually they are very busy. There may be a waiting list. They need to know in advance you will need them on a said day. I would try to contact a child advocate right away and decide your appointment needs,challenges with this persons help. They are in your camp! and very experienced in situations like yours.
