[QUOTE="Amity, post: 718313, member: 22179"] Omg thank you. Very helpful! Yes IEP. No formal diagnosis. Having trouble getting it. Seems to be a 3-5 year waiting list here in the state of MI unless I wanna pay out of pocket then they move it up to 2yrs. :O this info still shocks me. I have made days worth of calls, cried, pleaded etc but still no closer. Each person I talk to points a finger in another direction. Try a neurologist, try a regular pediatrician, Try county mental health, try school, Try a hospital (really that one was super useless), try juvenile mental health (umm that's a home for teens) etc Seems no one knows how kids get diagnosed as autistic. I can't believe this is hard. Argggg. Today I found an empty homeopathic medication bottle amongst the empty wrappers of freeze dried fruit, microwave popcorn, cheese sticks, and jar of peanut butter. I started to talk to him about it and he got really upset. He swears it wasn't him. He is such a stickler for rules that he almost lost it at the mere idea that I didn't believe him. So I just said that if he ever saw anyone eating them without permission please tell me, we wouldn't want anyone getting seriously sick. His little brain, he asked me with wide eyes if they could die if they ate to much medicine. Saying maybe yes was like a knife in my gut. It felt like adding new fear to already fully stocked fear library. But safety first is a new "rule in our home" so he went around asking everyone who did it. My 8 yr old finally fessed up that he read they help you sleep (poor kid suffers from insomnia). We have never had to put stuff up with the little guys as they just weren't kids that got into stuff. Our house hold maybe going through some changes this school year if we can not fix our impulse Control issues. This is just one tired mom ready for some things to just chill at my house. [/QUOTE]
