Guest guest Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 Okay, so I don't get why someone would be offened that a professional is on here offering FREE advice that no one is forced to read or take. I for one am extremely grateful and as the mother of a newly diagnosed AS daughter, I am not offended at all that I am getting FREE advice from someone who doesn't have an AS child. My child's doctor and her OT don't have kids with AS and I have to PAY them for advice. Geez! I am thinking that I might need to find a group that is a little nicer to people, if this kind of crap keeps going on. I have enough to deal with already without the negative energy. Can't we all just get along??? There are great people on here and there is great advice. I need a place like this right now, but I don't need the bickering. If my child was not getting what they needed in their school, you had better believe I would consider moving a hundred times if that is what it took to get her needs met. Of course I would fight it, but the bottom line is whatever it takes to help her, I would do. I don't see how suggesting another possible move is a horrible evil thing or why should be attacked publicly for posting it. Please stay . I am glad you are here. God knows I need all the help I can get with my AS child. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 I wholeheartedly agree with this too. Free advice is free advice. Take it or leave it. 's behavioral advice is top notch and I am so grateful to have it. It really helps to hear him pick apart a post and offer behavioral suggestions and I learn a lot from it. Most of us have had the same situations with our kids. I have to normally sit through hours of advice and pay big bucks to pull out what he summed up in that one email with behavioral suggestions. I don't have to agree with everything folks say but as 's heart is in it and he has excellent behavioral suggestions, I hope he stays and keeps providing input because I truly value it. It is just like every professional we have taken my son to. I learn another 10 percent I hadn't thought about or heard about before and am so glad to have learned, 80 percent is stuff I already knew, and 10 percent pisses me off or rubs me the wrong way because it isn't accurate or is in some way is I contort it as critical of me, my kid, or my family to my overly sensitive self. is no different. Don't let the 10 percent that pisses you off in some way deter you from learning that really useful 10 percent. And above all, play nice. We have enough battles, why bother picking one here of all places. ( ) Yikes! Please Stay!

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 I can see I will have to back track and see what I have missed, but I can say, as a Mom diagnosed with A.S. and having 3 kids with A.S. I appreciate any hints with anything, as long as I am not being put down in the process. Sometimes people get 'edgy' and perhaps there is a reason (often there is) but Sometimes we just need to 'get over it' and I hope this is a case where it isn't something bad. I, too, hate to see people be rejected (unless for a good cause) I have been rejected enough to not like it one bit > > Okay, so I don't get why someone would be offened that a professional > is on here offering FREE advice that no one is forced to read or take. > I for one am extremely grateful and as the mother of a newly diagnosed > AS daughter, I am not offended at all that I am getting FREE advice > from someone who doesn't have an AS child.

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 I think it is important to note that I do not have a child with autism. I grew up very close in age and relationship to an uncle with Downs Syndrome. It was my love for my uncle and the helpless I felt seeing how he was often treated back in the late 70's and 80's. (not only by other kids but by the lack of opportunity he was given) that got me into special education. My wife worked as an everyday caretaker and therapist for a little boy with autism as well as his eventual school aid for four years. Since then we opened our clinic in Germany and began working with a larger number of kids but have become extremely close to many kids with ASD and treat them as if they were our own. At this point, I would be happy if this thread ended and I became less of a topic and just went back to being one of many contributers.

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 , I have great respect for you and people who devote their lives to our children. It is a hard job and not very glorifying. I am involved in it because I have a child with autism and it opens my eye. But you guys are the true heros because you do it by choice. Happy Thanksgiving.
