Perhaps a psychologist or psychiatrist Beth. So your choice should be good.

Need Help

Hi everyone

We have a 7 yr old who we are looking to get formal medical diagnosis.....what kind of drs do this for Autism and Aspergers? We have an appointment with Neuropsychology but I am not sure that is the right route and I need some help. So what types of providers have you seen for this? Thanks so much Beth Milinski

Beth, my son was diagnosed by a behavioral and developmental pediatrician. We

live in a different town now, but we continue to see a doctor in the same

specialty. We saw a pediatric psychologist originally, but she referred us to

the developmental pediatrician as someone who was more able to administer the

kinds of behavioral tests and observation that our son needed for a diagnosis.

Hi Maja,

I think that is very nice that you want to be supportive of your friend. Right now he is probably going through the grieving process of having found out of his status. That process involves shock, anger, sadness and other feelings. Allow him to go through them. It's a necessary part of his mental health. I think for now don't talk about it unless he wants to talk about it. Just be there for him or even leave him alone if that is what he wants. If you have the opportunity to get out into nature with him, such as hiking, camping or just having a picnic, that might be helpful if he is into that. Nature helps me to calm down and think things through.

Hey all!A friend of mine has just been diagnosed HIV positive last week.Since he's told me he was getting tested I've basically moved in with him and we got the news together.I'm the only one he's told.I really want to help him, but I have no idea what is the 'right' way to go about it.Initially he was offcourse in shock, now he is trying to ignore his diagnosis, find as many distractions as he can so he doesn't have to face it.The last two days he gets angry about every little thing..... I can't get him to talk to me seriously for more than 5 minutes and I'm not even sure if I should try to....I can imagine to some extent what he is going through, but I can't know everything.I'm not sure if this is the right group to turn to (is it mostly health-related?) but I'd really appreciate any advice - I really don't know how best to help him to get through this...Maja

Hello. My name is Jo and I have an 11 year old son who has high functioning

autism. Been having behavior problems at school. Things dont go his way he

throws things knocks over chairs and desk now he has resorted to hitting. Today

at school he punched a kid in the face for no apparent reason. When the teacher

asked why he just said it was cuz he hated him. We go up to the school. Asked

him alot of questions trying to get answers. He hardly knows this kid. They are

not in the same class but in the same grade. According to teachers they hardly

have any interaction at all. Apparently some weeks ago, this kid said he hated

my son. He said that he wanted everybody to like him. He was laughing after he

hit him. I guess he thought everyone else thought it would be funny too. I dunno

I am at the end of my rope. Trying to get help through metrocare but the process

is taking longer than expected. I guess I am just looking for some kind of

support. He does not

seem to be able to control his anger. Thank 4 listening

, it sounds like your son is very frustrated and committing attention seeking behaviors. It sounds like some students, staff need to learn to ignore and not give attention to the attention seeking behavior. Miss Karla CaipoSent from my iPhoneOn May 7, 2012, at 12:44 PM, <d20fus@...> wrote:

,I have an 11-year-old HFA son who was pulled out of mainstream classes right before the winter break for his behavior. Turns out his behaviors were a reaction to the anxiety he was dealing with. They were pushing him too hard. He's smart and capable. Sometimes, I think his teachers forget he has a disability and though he CAN do the academics, he is challenged by huge sensory issues, language and listening deficits and focus issues. With the right assistance, he can do very well. But, when they start seeing his ability and not handling the dis-abilities, he melts down.

My assumption, just reading your post, is that this other child bullies your son when no one was around. Your son was just standing up for himself. Though, you'll never get that truth from his teachers. They will deny bullying ever happens in " their " school.

Thank you i do think that he is being bullyed probably when noone is paying

attention. And also I think that the teachers kinda ignore him alot. I do not

think he is getting the proper instruction from them. I think they see he is

smart but they try to treat him normal and ignore his noise sensitivity and his

focus issues. And it just sucks have an ard meeting soon im pretty sure they

gonna put him in special classes next year. Excluding him from the other kids in

his grade.
