Tan, You need to do what is best for Mr H, and I remember reading that post. Those boys are the worst thing for him right now. If that means a change of school then it is definitely worth looking at.
Zaki, Contact someone at the NSW Association for Gifted and Talented Children (NSWAGTC). They are a wonderful group of women, some who were in the same position as you with higher functioning spectrum children. They might be able to help you with a contact for a paed that DOES accept HFASD and can get him the help BEFORE he is too old for the funding. There is a cut off and it sounds like his Dr is messing you around.
Had our Paeds appt yesterday. She is looking at Spectrum for Princess. Have a battery of blood and urine tests for her including iron, lead, thyroid, blah blah blah. That is going to be fun, but she told me to take it to Lismore Base because they have the people to help.
Also she said that due to the HG I suffered and Princess' low birth weight we will have future weight problems. It is hard because she is constantly hungry. I am going to go talk to a chemist to see if there is something we can do about that. Its just started on her too, she went from healthy weight to at risk in just a couple of weeks.
Dream of perfection shattered =(
She things Tsunami is ADHD as well, but as I said to her, he isn't hurting anyone or anything, including himself and so if he is, its only his lack of concentration so I would prefer to NOT medicate my boy just for that. So she told me to use fish oil to see if that helps, obviously mentioned diet but we have already been eliminating our nasty numbers.
With Chill, she just thinks that the stuff that is worrying the school is not entirely a "him" issue. He is in survival mode after the last school and she feels that its not really anything she can help with but will keep seeing him more sparingly as she doesn't want him to develop depression and anxiety from it. (For those that missed, he was shoved into the path of traffic and threatened with a knife at his last school - hence why we moved).
