New here, and desperate for help!

[Guest guest]

I am the mother of an Aspie. I am also still very new to this, and learning day

by day. He has been diagnosed since 2008. Since starting school (even in

preschool) his behavior has been manageable. We had even moved before

Kindergarten and he seemed to adapt very well! His IEPs have been very basic, as

he hasn't needed any further assistance on a behavioral or academic level.

We moved again in Oct 2010, to another state. At first he was adjusting just

fine, but my dh and I feel that he is being coddled by his teacher and gettign

away with too much. At least, this is how it seems. In the last 2 months his

behavior has regressed considerably, and consistently. We spend 1-2 hours each

night battling over homework; not because he doesn't knoe the material, but

because he refuses to do it. I have never experienced this with him. Usually we

are able to reason with him, and get his behavior under control, but it is at a

point where there are constant tantrums and it is extremely stressful.

Since he has never really expressed a need for " help " I have never sought any.

However, I think now is the time. (for him, his big brother, and the parents)

This being said... where do I start?
