high functioning

[Guest guest]

My son was diagnosed a few months ago with Autism. We live in Virginia

and he receives Medicaid. He already received in home counseling for

his behavior and unsafe habits before his diagnosis. He started the

school year in a regular Kindergarten class, but was moved to a high

functionig autism class in a different school. Prior to this, he only

had an IEP for Speech. Haven't received a lot of info, was wondering

if hyperactivity and unsafe behavior(no regards to rules) is a part of

the disorder for some people. My son is 6 and weighs 40 pounds. Most

of the foods he eats are starches, will not eat vegetables, only eats

pizza, hot dogs, corn dogs, ramen noodles and chicken nuggets and

plain hamburgers from Mc's. Just looking for any advice for my

next step.I think he needs more support, but he's verbal and

considered high functioning so I don't think he gets all the support

he needs.
