[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thanks everyone for responding.  I definitely appreciate the advice.   Stigma--That's the word I was looking for.  I want him to get these services if he needs them, but I don't want him to be stigmatized. I know it's probably nothing I can do about that.  This process makes me feel as though my son's life is passing right in front of my eyes. I just want it to slow it all down.[/quote]

There is something you can do - go all private either paying yourself or via your health insurance.  Public services are just one way to do it.  Its not the only way.[/quote]

But once the child is ready for preschool things might become more difficult. Not sure where OP is located, but some states have good preschool programs like PEP in MD and VA. Private preschools may not be able or willing to cope with a child who is different in any way, unless it is a special needs school or inclusion school. Eventually the child has to go to school, so that's when doing everything privately may not be possible anymore. Plenty of people around here report that for mild ASD their child does the best with an IEP in public. [/quote]
