Re: I'm going home, i've done my time!!

If you're considering mainstream, it probably depends a lot on the school itself and what they offer in terms of support. Just make sure you do loads of research into all the schools around you. ...

Re: I'm going home, i've done my time!!

stepnek & nikki, thanks for sharing about your kids. Have either of you heard of AAC (Alternative and Augmentative Communication)? It's a picture exchange system that is really effective for those...

Re: I'm going home, i've done my time!!

Haha, I love it, that's adorable! :D I can't wait until my daughter is able to tell me more about what she's been up to at school too! We're working on her understanding of abstract things and time...

Re: I'm going home, i've done my time!!

You seem to know everything! Perhaps you should be the one diagnosing autism! :D Forget all the months and months of assessments by pediatricians, psychologists, speech therapists, etc, they...

Re: I'm going home, i've done my time!!

There are no "miracle cures" as you put in the "autism industry". The doctors who are un-diagnosing some people would be the first to admit this. Their reasons for un-diagnosing are to remove the...

Re: I'm going home, i've done my time!!

I really wish you would take it to court! It's such a shame.

You're right about the horrible attitudes out there about autism. I can totally sympathise with you in this regard. I don't think...

Re: I'm going home, i've done my time!!

Re: I'm going home, i've done my time!!

That's fair enough what you're saying, and I can see how it applies to people that really are disabled and can't cope on their own. But the boy in question isn't exactly 'disabled'. He's...

Re: I'm going home, i've done my time!!
