Re: I Need Some Help To Help My Son

[Guest guest]

Can you give us some more information? What type of help are you looking for?

Help with school issues, social skills, behavioral? Have you talked to the

doctor that diagnosed your son? Usually they can refer you to specialist that

treat specific issues. There are no specific medicines for treating Aspergers

but the doctors will usually treat the symptoms. If a child has ADHD sypmptoms

they can treat that with medicine. If they have anxiety they can treat that

with medicine. If they have anger issues they can treat that with medicine. If

you are looking for help with school issues the public schools cannot pick and

choose what disablities they will accept. Every child must be given the

appropriate services they need. This is determined not by a doctors diagnosis

but by the results of school related evaluations. If you are looking for some

sort of therapy you should look for a behavioral center that works with kids

with ADHD or Autism. Psychologist and Clinical Social Workers that treat ADHD

should be able to work with a child that has ADHD and Aspergers.

Hope this helps some.

to see how I can help my son out and nothing everyone tells me that if he had

ADHA alone they could help out but being that he has Asperger they can not help.

I live in Hialeah, Fl and have no idea who to trun to. Can anyone help me out

plz or at least give me some ideas?

I would actually call or email your states' autism society.

Here, it's listed as asw@... (we're in Wisconsin.....and the AS is for "autism society". The phone number should be on the site. I hope you get some help.

Hugs,

It really is simple. Just treat others kindly and with respect.

What kind of help are you looking for? Information? Parent support? Therapy for a specific issue? Problems at school or home? There are a lot of different kinds of help out there. I'm happy to give you more direction if you can give more specifics. Sarawww.aspergersupport.com>> My son is 7 years old and he has ADHA and Asperger.

Start with the County, get a Mental Health Case worker assigned. They can make you aware of services available in your community, hook you up with County Medical, inform you of programs and support groups in your county. They can also help give you a voice in IEP's , if they're able to attend (ours does). They can set up a crisis plan for you if your child's behavior escalates to a dangerous level... and they can work in tandem with you, the schools, and any professional therapy you might be utilizing. I can't guarantee you'll have the same level of participation we do, but it is where I started.
