Guest guest Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 After over 8 years on the waiting list, my son will finally be getting CLASS services. I was wondering if anyone else on this list is also on the CLASS program in Austin? I would really like to know all the services you guys have been able to utilize. Are there any funding for medical interventions? Such as Thoughtful House or the Care clinics? What services has benefited your child the most? My son is 11 with Very severe autism. He is none verbal, extremely hyper...I mean not being able to stand or sit in one place for more then seconds at a time. Extreme ocd behaviors that take over ours and his life. No attention span. can't even take him out to public places because he is so all over the place. We have had such a tough year...Very long story, but I am back and want to do everything and anything in my power to make him more manageable. I know that there are many people on this list that are apposed to drugs. But without Risperadol and trazadone my son was so manic and crazy that I actually feared for his life. Some of his self injurous behaviors have gone, but he is still extremely all over the place and his ocd is getting out of hand. We can't even get a babysitter who will help and stay with us,after one or two days of working with him. he has no agression or rage. he's just extremely hyper. Has anyone had any luck with something that can help calm him down and be able to focus more? I know this was a long email with lots of questions...so thank you for reading...and any advice would so much be appreciated! thanks, M.
