I write them with singer/songwriter Elyse Bruce "Quietudes" "Midnight In Chicago" "Countdown to Midnight." She has a son with AS and got - to put it frankly- fed up with the run around she received by various agencies when trying to get information about autism and help for her son. The podcasts at www.mic.mypodcast.com are designed to provide useful information about autism for FREE to anyone who wants them.

We have an Asperger's son, as well. He's 16 years old and home schooled. We live in Loudon. We face the same concerns with Chris regarding tics and independence issues. He's determined to get a job this summer, but I have many reservations. You're in my thoughts. I happened to stumble upon your blog. We have an Asperger’s son, as well.

You’re in my thoughts.

I am losing my son. The school will not let me know what is going on with him, will not let me have copies of records and won't respond to if I can see them. The school's asst. to the director of sp. ed says the school will let me know what I need to know. In the meantime, my almost 14 year old is turning into a monster. He is so biligerent. He's great if he is getting his way but the moment you say no, he will argue and negotiate and he sort of scares me. He's never hit me but there is something about the way he gets angry that makes me think that he could cross over if pushed. His needs are net met because I live in crappy Louisiana where no one cares. There are no services. I've looked. I've begged. I was even in USA today begging for help. I'm so sad. I am so desparate.
