Welcome to the group, Jeff! It sounds like you're in good hands at s Hopkins. In this group, I found the most selfless and helpful people, ever, some well educated and have great resources. Good luck, and I'm glad to hear you are doing better!

Hi!

I wanted to send an email to introduce myself to the group, and to ask few questions regarding services in Georgia.

I am currently living in Southern California and I am looking at accepting a job in the Atlanta area. I have lived in Atlanta before, but that was before I was married and before I had my son. is 12 years old, and is high functioning autistic.

What can I expect regarding services and support for him in middle school and high school? Is Georgia like California in that you need an attorney in order to get a program for your child where he can progress? I have a settlement agreement in place, it has been 4 years, and since filing for due process and getting my settlement agreement. The team that works with my son has been great and he has made many strides, and making up alot of years as far as schooling.

What counties offer better services and what can I expect?

Welcome to the group DeDe! Sorry that you

are here – none of us “want” to be, but it is a wonderful

place for information. My son is 5 and was diagnosed w/ PDD NOS right when he

turned 3. The best advice I think I could give someone newly into this is

EARLY INTERVENTION! Speech, OT & ABA is what we did/do. My son has made

great strides (I feel) because of these therapies.

Please feel free to email me off line –

kgb5@... if you want more

specifics.

Than you!

Hello everyone!

I just wanted to say hello to the group and I am looking forward to

speaking with others who have a child/children with autism. I am a

divorced mother with a 9 year old and 2 1/2 year old. My 2 1/2 year old

was just recently diagnosed with it. Although I have heard somethings from

another parent I know who has deals with this, I am still learning more and

more about it. I appreciate giving and receiving support from others.

Thanks a lot.
