Guest guest Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 Hello and thank you for having me on your list. I'm , married to Alif, and my kids are Malachi age 11, Graham 9, Caris 6 and Canaan 2. I have always had problems with my 9-year-old and when I read a website about Aspergers a couple weeks ago, I was shocked to see that many, many of the symptom describe him perfectly. I have since done a lot of reading, talking to friends who have kids with HFA and making frustrating phone calls. We homeschool and that has caused us a major roadblock to the place here that does most of the evaluations - no referral from the school. They also don't want to evaluate since they said it sounds like my son has HFA and they don't service that. Our next step is to take him to mental health services and see if they can refer us to someone who can evaluate him. This is a two steps forward, one step back process but if it leads to our being able to understand and help our son then it will all have been worth it. Thanks for any advice you might have! http://www.liftupyourhearts.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
