the original poster was asking for advice not condemnation. by the way most

after school programs dont takeour kids or if they do the staff is not trained

well in caring for ASD kids. you must be blessed with an even tempered

imploding kid on the spectrum.

Please remember the list is for helping not smacking others around. Most of us

get enough of that from the communities we live in . This group is about helping

others in the same situation find resources and support.

hard enough.  Then you a Autism and health issues and that's a whole other ball

game.  My wonderful son is 7 years old and in first grade. Yes, he's improving

day to day.  He's still so far behind from other kids his age. I hate comparing

him to kids his age because he is not like kids his age.  On top of he fact I

do not have anyone to pick him up from school, take him to doctors appointments

etc I have issues with therapy. He'll have therapy but then his insurance says

that we have reached the maximum benefits for the year and we have to pay out of

pocket. I can not afford it. Then when the insurance kicks in we have to WAIT

for an evaluation, then WAIT for appointments to get approved, So, my son hasn't

received therapy in 8 months.

school. And I go to school 2 days a week. Yes I can work some weekends. Is it

just me in this situation? Does anyone have any advice?
