Most places are simply not equipped to deal with autistic kids. I cannot find care for my five year old daughter with autism unless I pay for child care and then also pay an aide to stay with her one on one. I have a strong feeling that financial crisis or not - I will not be back at my office any more.... It is really sad - we are a large family trying to live on a military person's pay and my paycheck makes the difference between surviving and living.... It is so frustrating. With child care - I don't believe it is malicious intent, but basically, no one wants to deal with a child like Hope.

I don't think that anyone should make a blanket statement about any child, autistic, nt, cerebal palsy, whatever. I dont think it is fair to the numerous staff that work very hard with the kids they have, and sometimes the very bitter or frusterated parents. Please know that my son has had his fair share of ignorant staff, but he has had staff that have made a huge difference in working with him. In all, we have to share what has worked best for our child, and not say that it will work for everyone, because unfortunately, it wont. Otherwise all of our kids would be "cured."> >> > > > Asperger's & Day Care Centers> > > > * > > He has made zero progress, now they want to clssify > > him.We have a child psych who prescribed the Ritalin and now wants > >
