| My son is also going to be in his final year of high school beginning in August. He is also younger than some of his peers. He will graduate a week before he turns 18. I previously posted about my son and going to college. I was given some very good advice. I tend to forget that he is emotionally a ... |

| I am glad he apologized. I am hopeful more and more that people are starting to understand that everyone is different. My son (almost 17) would shutdown when he was younger. It was a bad physiological response. Now he tends to explode verbally. He has sensory issues, like many, and has a hard time w... |

| I would formally request an evaluation. It is best to do this either in the form of an email (many can have notification of arrival/opening) or a letter that is signed for to verify delivery. According to IDEA they have 60 days to complete the evaluation. When I did this for my son, I did include a ... |

| Thank you for the input. I need to have some one on one time (without him having his headphones on) and discuss everything. I thought about preparing a sample letter for him, or enlisting the help from his English teacher. Looks like we have a busy summer for him. Have a great week everyone. Vicky |

| This is a great topic. My son has been a victim of teasing and bullying both. We have discussed how the two are different and he seems to get it now (he is almost 17). He had it rough in elementary school and horribly in junior high. It got so bad that I had to file criminal charges against three yo... |

| My son had an appointment with his mental health counselor yesterday afternoon, and we briefly discussed the letters to the stations (he thought I was doing, I said he needed to and I would be happy to help), and taking things a bit slower. He almost seemed to sigh some. Of course, then his anxiety ... |

| Thank you. I have been thinking the local route might be best. I am going to encourage him to write a letter that can be sent to the local stations (my boss happens to be very good friends with the owner of a local station too) to see if they will allow him to shadow for a few days. He needs to have... |

| Hi, this is my first post. My name is Vicky and my son turns 17 at the end of the month. He was diagnosed 5 years ago (almost to the day). His diagnosis includes ADHD, Asperger's, anxiety, dysgraphia and sensory problems. He will be a senior next year, and I am freaking out. He seems to not want to ... |

Hi,
Does this gym have a pool? My son's PT has recommended water therapy or exercises for him. We even do some classes on exercise in the water.
