    I was going to ask how the school district even had your younger ds on their radar already, but it sounds like you've made use of some early intervention services through the district. You might want to take a look at the Homeschooling Legal Defense Association's website for more info and to give you a little more peace of mind. State specific information is on their website here: http://www.hslda.org/hs/default.asp

    Thank you for the link!

    Yes. We started in Early Intervention when he was about 27 months and once he aged out when he turned 3 we moved onto dealing with the school district. And because we got an official high functioning autism diagnosis through Early Intervention, everything the school does seems to concentrate on the diagnosis and not really on our son frown. We will be looking into re-evaluation because the autism diagnosis (that was made based on the team spending 30 minutes with DS) in many areas just doesn't fit. We know there's something off but not convinced we got the right answers. More reasons to not get pushed into something we don't think is right for him.
