Hi everyone,
Just a quick update. He has an appointment with a psychiatrist who specializes in kids with AS tomorrow and will begin cognitive behavior therapy in two weeks to deal with his perfectionism, as well as his difficulties with frustration.
Grinity, I bought the book you recommended and his school aba person is interested in trying to adapt the credit system to both the school and home environment, so I will keep you posted.
His IEP meeting is next week, so hopefully we will have some new feedback before then as his current therapist is going to see him in school in action to try to determine what is going on. I am still on the fence about whether he should move to 4th in the fall or stay in 3rd for the social piece. Not sure yet. He is also scheduled to have a full reeval of everything in april, so we will see if anything else has changed. Oh, and he is starting therapy for pragmatics as well..
Hopefully everything will come together soon..I just want him to have the skills he needs to use his brain as much as he wants to.
All of your advice has been invaluable and much appreciated! Thanks so much,
Tam
