| Richard notices how other kids treat one another and he is also getting bullied. A teacher actually said that it was alright for Richard to hit the boy who hit him. He goes to a school that is "ghetto" and I hate saying that, but it is true. The principal hasn't called me yet. I asked for a session ... |

I have no desire to hurt anyone or to go "against" authority as it were, I just like being left alone. I'm pretty old now, so I have no desire t... |

| Okay, we got the IEP, and he got some help with his reading and then got the "Other Health Impaired" ruling. I don't care because he gets picked on and the neurotypical kids fight more than he does!! His moral compass has been really good as of late and he's getting better and he sees fighting and i... |

| I am just learning more fully about autism in general and I find it hard to believe that a high percentage of autistic people would actually be violent. I could see maybe a very few being very frustrated and maybe getting out of hand with their emotions, or maybe one person being very bitter about l... |

| My boy is a lot like MiahClone's in many ways. I find that teaching the child to tell you what they like and don't like helps. I have ALSO trained my son to make sure that he says "No thank you" and to be politely tell me when he doesn't prefer something. Now of course, he's coarse and rude about a ... |

| I have a son who is 8 years of age. He has been diagnosed with PDD-NOS and ADHD. He takes Adderall XR-10. The medication does help. My son is good hearted, but he is self centered. We also have spoiled him. He does know right from wrong. Sometimes emotions overwhelm him. I know personally how one ha... |

| We are still working with my boy on this. His dad is rather indiscriminate about how he watches the news in front of our son, and our son already knows about many evils that go on................ My son DID NOT pick up or understand that the shooter had an autism diagnosis (thank God). We used this ... |

The churches where I live are mostly bad, but there are a couple that are okay for my boy and his IQ level and diagnoses. But yea. For the independent parent who has a child who cannot attend church, I would... |

| I have to tell you that I dont' like public school much. Two years ago, they measured my child for gifted and then did another test and it measured really low. I'm not trusting either score. Why can't they just say that we have an average child who has pervasive developmental disorder? Why all the o... |

| I go to a good church that is pretty supportive of my child. There is only one lady who isn't tolerant and nice but the rest of the folks allow my child to play with Legos or to tell a story if he wants to. I DO AGREE that it is indeed up to you if you want your child to attend a choice. My family b... |

| I'm new here. Are there in-house vocational rehab type therapists who can come in and train him on life skills? Could he go to supervised housing and visit you on weekends? Are there medications that might help him feel less anxious or help focus his thought? Could a sitter be hired? These are just ... |
