Autism.....

Sometimes my thing two is diagnosed with Autism and sometimes he isn't. The doctor is a little confused I think :-)
Sometimes he qualifies for services through the school system and when he gets caught up he doesn't qualify anymore. Why do you need a label to get the services your child needs? My sweet little Thing just needs a little extra help. He needs a little bit of patience and understanding. Why aren't teachers better trained to handle children on the spectrum of Autism. It is affecting more and more children everyday and I have come to realize that the schools don't care to address this problem. WHY? Autistic children are smart and capable of learning just like other children they just learn differently. No matter how hard you push they will not learn the way you want. They only learn the way they can. You have to be able to judge each child as a unique case and work with their strengths and weakness. But then again all children should be taught that way!! Sometimes I just get so frustrated I hope first grade goes a little better then Kindergarten!!
