    Seeking help for my 11 year old son.

    The "time out" idea is great. I used to do it for the both of us when he was a toddler-age 6 probably. It's very easy for things to go from 0-100 so I think implementing that again will do major good. I know In the moment he doesn't consider other peoples feelings , but I do from observing him...

    A lot of it is that So CA offers extra services for people with Austism. Without a diagnosis a lot of other people with various disabilities wont qualify for any services or therapies to help their conditions. He sees a therapist now that he's acclimating to, but I know that's always a process...

    Greetings Crossbreed thank you for the welcome. That is actually something I haven't considered or looked into. It's definitely something I'm going to explore in having him evaluated for. Thank you for the feed back!

    Seeking help for my 11 year old son.

    I have no idea where to start really. I am here to seek guidance in how to deal with my un-diagnosed 11 year old son. I noticed early on, at the age of 2 that he wasn't hitting his milestones on time, and his speech was delayed. So he received extensive early intervention therapy, speech...
