Denise Gionet replied to Lisa Anderson's discussion OCD"Lisa
what you describe sounds much like my son Brian. My son also has the toe walking - he was in Early Intervention because at the age of 18 months he had no language, and they never brought up a problem with his toe walking. I finally brought it…"
Denise Gionet replied to Lisa Anderson's discussion OCD"Hi Kelli,
Our situation was similar. We went to 3 neurologists before we got our diagnosis of Aspergers. My son was diagnosed at 9 years old. The first time we were told when he was 4 that he had Sensory Processing Disorder - which he…"

- I will get as much information as I can & get back to you asap. I can't believe they would not give your other son the services he needed based on the fact he never had services before. That makes me so angry. Talk to you soon.

- To be honest I don't know either. I was introduced to a group by a friend who had gone to one regarding her son. The advocate group I go to here in Buffalo is called Agapa. I could ask them how to find one in your area if you would like? I know your a teacher by trade, but I think an advocate group would be very helpful to you. Parents don't know all the educational laws that are out there & who has time to read all that. I will get this info for you. Maybe even Jill Anne Castle could tell you what steps to take, I don't know. God Bless, Suzanne

- Not sure on the date for spring 2011, but this year they ended on June 24th I believe, take a day or two. It doesn't get hot around here until the last week of June so it's not so bad. Ever since I can remember school always started after Labor Day. Labor Day weekend is a big holiday in Buffalo, we consider it our last summer weekend. I don't blame you for being nervous, but just ask questions where needed & always make yourself available to speak with in other words a hands on Mom/parent. That way they know you care & above all are keeping an eye on him & them his educators. Have you gottn in touch with an advocate group?

- He was in a Summer School program that ended August 13th. The new school year starts up September 8th for him. His brother & sister start September 7th. In Buffalo they start school after Labor Day. Is Brian all set for school?

- Unfortunately this diagnosis does not give us the luxury of waiting. Do what you have to for your son when you have to. I hope and pray that they come around. God Bless

- Hi Denise,

- The bottom line is that your husband & mother-in-law just might not be in the same place that you are right now. Give it some time & keep educating yourself & doing what you feel is right for your son, yourself & your family & I'm sure they will both come around. Hope I helped. God Bless :)

- Sorry to hear about your struggle with your husband & mother-in-law. Me & my husband went through our denile as well, took me less time to accept the diagnosis than my husband Steve. He still struggles with the diagnosis, but has come a long way. He did not go to appointments for a long time & I have taken that roll on more than him, but last summer he went with me to Cincinnati's Children's Hospital Medical Center for a few days of appointments & I think he learned alot about himself & Francis I guess what I'm saying is he is trying to cope with it.
