Hi,I am very sad today...my girl has problems grasping the guitar's cord and she really had a bad temper tamtrum...I told her to tell the doctor and they will try tol fix her hand...but she really had a hard time accepting the problem...When she was little she was in early intervention, then all services were provided for her, OT, ST,etc, the school dropped her out when she was five and now four years later without those services all the problems are coming back...The emotional impact of feeling so helplessness is very hard on me. ( ) Re: How many others are struggling with chores, ADLs and obsessions?>> I'm thinking the way this will work for us is me making up a list of chores, ADLs (activities of daily living), studying--everything--assign points to each. They have to have so many points to get an hour on the computer ...Just thought I'd give you all an update. I worked very hard on this all weekend, both putting it together and working with the kids. This worked absolutely spectacularly with my NT child (14yo son), but not so much so with my other 14yo son with Asperger (twins). I'm going to have to stick with First, Then and collaborative learning with the Asperger one. He communicated some on how much he was willing to do and that he is willing to cut his losses, so that was a big improvement. The fact that he is willing to accept that his brother should get more computer time if he does more work makes things much more workable. Now I can get the NT child working up to an age-appropriate level even if his Asperger brother is not. It helped putting together a full-fledged system for the NT child for both of them. I used the same stuff for both, they just use it differently and it is a different mentality for each of them.So, I feel good I finally got my NT son up to speed, but I am still not sure where this is heading for my Asperger son. I'm glad he is at least doing something, but it takes so much work to get him to do just one chore and he is so far away from working on his own yet. Scary at 14 years of age.

Did you request a complete evaluation from the school? Do that, in writing. Start the ball rolling to getting her the help she needs. It can be a hard process but you might feel better when working towards getting help.

Hi,

I am very sad today...my girl has problems grasping the guitar's cord and she really had a bad temper tamtrum...

I told her to tell the doctor and they will try tol fix her hand...but she really had a hard time accepting the problem...

When she was little she was in early intervention, then all services were provided for her, OT, ST,etc, the school dropped her out when she was five and now four years later without those services all the problems are coming back...

The emotional impact of feeling so helplessness is very hard on me.

I am thinking to hire either a lawyer or an advocate to help me with school. They denied her the services last time.
