[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How old is your child, OP? I would look into ABA (you can get it even without an autism diagnosis, as we did).  Our child made tremendous progress and it gave us a huge break because his instructors would come to our house for 7-8 hours a day to work with him.  It gave us all some much-needed structure, taught him all sorts of skills, and was the best thing we ever did for him.  I would be happy to talk with you offline if you want more information. Another SN mom did this for me and it changed the entire trajectory of our son’s life and preserved our mental health.[/quote]

Same!! Another mom turned me on to ABA and it is a game changer. But you probably need an ASD diagnosis for insurance to cover.

Also, I can't remember now its been so long, but can a Developmental Ped diagnosis ASD?  We saw a develop ped at 3 years old who diagnosised our son with ADHD and then a neuropysch at 6 who then did the ASD diagnosis. [/quote]

I don't know about ABA but +1 to trying to find moms of older kids who can offer guidance. Some of the most helpful moms were strangers who with a single phone call helped me more than I can put into words. I also think these women changed my child's entire life.[/quote]
