How to get help

Post Reply New Topic

Hello, I was wondering what to do if you don't have the money..or the insurance to get help for Aspergers. You know a Psychiatry?lol Anyone have any suggestions?

Ya know I really don't know what kind of help there is out there. What is there.
I don't know what to do really or where to start.

you could start with your pediatrician or physician and see what they reccommend....

Is there any financial help out there? I feel he just needs social skills....coping. However, I am not a dr.
One day he's on cloud nine..hyper, in a great mood. The next day he's down, like his favorite dog got hit by a car.
He keeps asking this girl at work to go out w/ him. She doesn't like him in that way. He doesn't get the hint. Last nite he just got soo upset, trying his hardest not to cry. He just shook and yelled "I have No body!"
Kids will talk to him at work, but at school they totally avoid him, from what he says.

Daniel is 17

does he have a physician?...in order to get much of the help that's out there, you need to start on the road towards a diagnosis

Not really. He goes to one dr for his acne that is a family Physician. But he doesn't know Daniel really well.. Does that matter?

I'd start with the school shrink --- at least that was the one who rounded me up all the time

If that does not work try the family doctor. Try looking at the deffinitions of aspergers, etc on google before you call. Often doctors need help.


After that not sure but most developmental disabilities are only covered for kids -- although my health insurance kicked in for speach pathology.

Thanks to everyone for helping! I will try to see what can be done...
