[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, but one of my lifelong friends has a child with very clear undiagnosed autism and I've vented to my two other closest friends that it absolutely breaks my heart they haven't gotten him evaluated.

(I work in Early Intervention)[/quote]

It is difficult to see parents wrapped up in their own worlds and/or having undiagnosed depression, because it comes across as laziness to the outside world sometimes. For example, if there is a problem kid at school who isn't a bad kid, but causes disruptions (can't follow directions, for the third or fourth year in a row, and parent wants their kid in class next to quiet suzy every year, that gets old and yes, disruptive).  Work with your kid, and get him the help he so desperately needs. [/quote]

I can tell you as a parent to one of these struggling kids that we are trying.  We have pushed private therapies etc, but the schools often refuse to help until things get really bad.  And that is wrong for everyone, and so much harder to fix than intervening early.

Thank you to everyone who has spoken kindly or refrained from speaking of my struggling child.[/quote]

Hugs to you.  Parents are the very worst.[/quote]
