Re: 12 y.o. recently diagnosed with pdd nos

[Guest guest]

,

my 8 year old daughter was diagnosed with asperger at 6 then also adhd (and we

dont agree with the h part). recently we did a study at the yale medical center

and they said she falls right on the cusp of PDD NOS and ASPERGER.

because of her speech issues (stuttering and such) she falls more on the PDD

NOS.

anyway, dont wait for the school.

make an appointment with a neurologist. they can diagnose him. if he is

diagnosed with either or any, then get the report to the school.

after that " they have no choice " .

they must do their best to get him what he needs.

dont wait for schools to help.

unless your child has his face on a $100 bill, they wont even pay attention to

him, and will do anything to quiet you.

once the diagnosis is made by a neurologist, theyre dead.

make that appointment.

they wont push it.

would greatly appreciate and and all help.

There is also a school in Roswell Ga, called The Porter School. They offer multisensory teaching utilizing a speech pathologist and occupational therapist who work directly in the classroom. Give them a shout and ask them about their services, if they service your district or have local contacts for you.

There is an Aspergers group that gets together in the Canton area in Cherokee

County. I would love to go sometime but they're a little too far away from me

since I practically live downtown. They have a meetup group. Go to meetup.com

and type in " cherokee county aspergers syndrome support group " to find the

group. They seem like nice people.

I feel your pain. Middle School is unbelievably tough for our kids, especially

if they're being bullying. That's why I pulled my daughter out mid-year in 6th

grade. We tried both Cobb and Cherokee public schools before making this

decision.

, there is a meetup group in your area. Go to meetup.com and type in aspergers and your location, and this is the one I found http://www.meetup.com/Social-group-for-Asperger-kids-ages-8-13/You can email other parents on there and find local help and outings for your son to meet friends. I recently connected with another mom on my meetup group and we swapped ideas and resources. We're planning an outing for our sons at a bowling alley.From: <video228@...>Subject: ( ) Re: 12 y.o. recently diagnosed with pdd nos Date: Monday, February 22, 2010, 10:27

Oops, hit send by accident but had another thought., there is a meetup group in your area. Go to meetup.com and type in aspergers and your location, and this is the one I found http://www.meetup.com/Social-group-for-Asperger-kids-ages-8-13/You can email other parents on there and find local help and outings for your son to meet friends. I recently connected with another mom on my meetup group and we swapped ideas and resources. We're planning an outing for our sons at a bowling alley. Just another thought. I contacted a local college that has a special ed curriculum and their graduate students have to spend so many hours with special needs kids, so maybe you can get them to help with tutoring him. One mom has a student come over one night every week and it gives her a chance to run her errands and it's free.Hope this helps,GenFrom: <video228@...>Subject: ( ) Re: 12 y.o. recently diagnosed with pdd nos Date: Monday, February 22, 2010, 10:27
