He's losing his services

[Guest guest]

I know that I don't post here alot, but I do read every day....and

this group provides so many resourceful ideas.

I got home from work today, to find the IEP and the testing results

for Brayden. I don't know where to begin. We went through so much

to get a diagnosis for him, yet the school has determined that it is

unlikly that Brayden is HFA. How can that be possible? He is losing

his OT, as well as any other services that were being provided to

him. How can my child be one person at school, and completely

another child at home? Am I supposed to be happy about

this....because all I am now is confused? Is he really HFA...or does

he just have behavioral problems only at home. He has gotten rave

reviews at school, and it seems like he is holding it in, and then

when he gets home he is his true self. Can this even happen? Or,

are they right? We have a diagnosis from the Minnesota Autism

Society....how could they be wrong. It makes me go back to that

feeling that I'm just a bad parent. But, if I am a bad parent, how

can I have two other children that are so different than him in

regards to behaviors and actions? Never has my oldest scrunched up

into a ball in the morning and made noises...never has my oldest done

somersaults for what seems like hours to help calm himself. Never

has my oldest made " ah ah ah ah " noises for an hour just

because.....or gotten louder just to block out the other noises

around him. He climbs on my head, he plays with cars, and builds

with legos for hours. What am I doing wrong here. What am I

supposed to do...what am I supposed to think? I am so confused.
