6 yr old twin boys with Asperger's

[Guest guest]

I'm totally at my wits end and like someothers here I need support

desperately!! First of all, well I don't know exactly where to

start. There is so many thoughts in my head its hard to keep them

all straight so I'll just highlight some concerns I have right now.

My twins have personal aides at school to keep them " controlled " ,

not my choice of word. They are one 3 types of meds, none of which

I think are doing any good, risperal (sp?), strattera and prozac for

anxiety, all of which were recommended by the psychiatrist who made

the diagnosed about 6 weeks ago. My pediatrician is being called

all the time by our school principal and he recommended them being

home schooled or if that doesn't help, he suggested a psych

hospital, upon hearing that I bursted into tears. The school that

they go to is stuck in the stone age, never hearing about asperger's

and the principal had the GALL to say to me that " they have had

other autistic children here that didn't act this way " , I wanted to

slap her so badly! So many things are happening, its like a

nightmare!! I really could benefit from some REAL hands-on advice

and support! Thanks in advance.

p.s. I'm a single mom going back to college for the 1st time in 9

years. Think I might have too much going on??!!
