Just wanted to introduce myself - my son was just diagnosed with
Asperger's, although I've known that it was something related to this
for a little while. We've been having trouble in school with him -
fighting, poor attention span, poor interaction with others, bad grades
in reading and writing. I wanted to join a group because I have been
working with the school for awhile; they've put him in a chatroom group
for improving social skills and another program where he checks in with
another teacher when he feels overwhelmed. Sounds good, but now as the
diagnosis has been made they're talking about a "514" disability
classification and I know that he should have an additional IEP (he
currently has IEP for speech), but I'm not sure of all our rights and
such. I'm just trying to educate myself as much as possible so that we
can all do what's right for my son. Joining your group seemed like one
of many ways to do that!
