Some weaknesses were: conversation, stereotypical language, social overtures, and others I can't think of righ... |

We just found out that his ADOS result was Autistic Disorder. We don't know specific scores, just the result was in the Autistic ranger, not the ASD ... |

| In the last few weeks my son has started grabbing his grandmother's glasses off her face at times when he can reach them. He never did this up until recently, not even when he was a baby. Anyone else have a kid that does this? Any idea how to get him to stop? It usually happens without any warning a... |

| This post is only partly ASD related... I posted a while back about concern for child care for my 5 year old with Asperger's who will start school in a few months. He won't be able to stay where he is now and there is no way that we can do summers, holidays, and snow days (we are in VA but get a TON... |

| The only way to get Respite in Virginia (that I know of) is with Medicaid Waiver. J might qualify for the DD waiver, but you can't apply until 5 years, 9 months and there is a huge waiting list... The childcare provider we have is only licensed to 5 years 11 months of age, so that won't really help... |
