That’s great right? My child can’t sit still for 5 minutes, let alone be put in room after room with various therapists.
It was like these doctors had never dealt with a child on the spectrum.
Do they not realize how hard that is on the parent, trying to talk to me for hours while trying to control my son who is having meltdowns hitting his head off the floor?
I was embarrassed, I was ashamed, I was at my breaking point.
Then they sat us down to go over treatment plan.
Evaluation says this, now give us your money, 90K a year!
Insurance wouldn’t help and I started crying, losing hope we’d ever get our son back.
That kind of money wasn’t an option so I began doing some research.
Joined autism support pages on Facebook, read a lot of books, only to see no one actually tried to get to the root of the problem.
Everyone talks about how hard it is, what their kids eat and don’t eat for that matter.
These parents just go through the motions trying to keep their head above water trying not to have complete break downs daily. They give in to what their kids want constantly but never sought what their kids NEED.
