My autism is alive and living with me and in my son. He suffers fom this learning disorder eversince he was a baby and had a convulsion. This was after a vaccine and a high fever. For years I looked for someone to tell me why my son was delayed in so many areas. No one had a answer for me. I looked for doctors, teacher anyone that would give me a chance to ask a question. There wer no answers. Finally at 13 he wa diagnosed with frontal brain disorder or disfunction. He can not remember some things.
Everyday it is a struggle and the school system do not have trained teachers to help him or any other boy with autism. The number of boys diagnosed with autism is growing but the teachers are not trained. My son has no hope in ever getting the complete education that the system says it garantees. What will he have only a midiocur education with no real opportunities to even be ab le to complete a job application or remember what are the steps to doing something.
I just found out that he lost his lunch card in September it has been almost three months and no one has helped him find out what he can do to get another one. Three months without lunch, and they plan to tell me he is going to be okay and graduate in two more years. REALLY?????
Wow. I can't understand what you go through on a daily basis, but I can only relate from being a teacher. I have had many students with autism. I have taught K-12 for 14 years. I am sorry for the stress and frustration. I hope you have help.
