[quote=Anonymous]It's a marathon, not a sprint. And yes, I too have been there! I think the most helpful thing for me was to get awesome referrals from the neuropsychologist and get on a waiting list. Speech therapy might be the easiest one to start out with, but you might want to start out with the stuff that's causing the most problems. My kid had huge tantrums, so we started seeing a psychologist who specializes in kids on the spectrum. Try to sit on the therapies so that you can gauge quality and reinforce skills as much as you can at home. I feel like after I got the neuropsych report, I slowly but surely got my "degree" in learning how to help my kid. I took classes, joined groups, talked to parents, moved schools, etc. Take your time. Above all, take care of yourself because you're your kid's most important advocate, teacher, and ally. [/quote]
