It's funny how life changes. In my situation...not funny, but changing regardless so. My son (3 on friday) was diagnosed with autism on Dec 22. We are still not accepting it, but we are dealing with it. trying to understand and doing anything necessary to help him.
I feel like I've fallen out of the coin world...understandably so because my son will always come first, but I will not let go of what I've started. I've dropped my print prices and have also FINALLY ,to you who have asking, gotten t-shirts and such to my website. See "pricing" or "portfolio" for shop inquiries.
Much love and respect to you all

My daughter teaches autistic children in NY and loves her job and the kids.
Best wishes to your family and your son and love and respect back at you.

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

My son, Michael, is 10 1/2 and is non-verbal autistic. I am sending you a PM.

It's a tough pill to swallow, but my son and I will overcome this. He's a beautiful kid and I love him dearly. We've gone through the toughest part with the diagnosis and the pile of tests that my boy has had to endure. Good news!!!....no signs of illness! We are currently going through the outrageous process of getting some correct schooling for him. Once that is done, I think that I can finally pick up a paint brush again. I can't wait. I need the therapy.
I'm seeing the world through different eyes now and I'm accepting the path that God has chosen for me.
Kind regards to you all,

Good luck to you and your family, must be a hard time, and might not seem fair at the moment, but I'm sure it will work out for the best.

the school.. That one process alone will determine what they are required to do.. They may tell you it's not that important
to list every goal and special need but they will be lying to you.. When you first have any issue the first thing they will tell
you is "it's not in the I.E.P"
You are the only one who is an advocate for your child.. The school is only interested in showing an improvement.
They will low ball your child's goals to achieve this if they think for one minute you aren't educated in the I.E.P process..
I'm preparing myself for the Whitman's Philly Expo. They've invited me back to the Baltimore Expo in March...can't do it. And the Nashville Expo in May...possible. I'm going to make it to the Philly Expo with some new work if anything. I need goals, they make me sane. I'm thinking gold and copper.
Much respect,

While I agree that you want to make sure the IEP is correct, it also depends largely on your school district. My mom and sister both teach children with autism and I can promise you the child comes first every time in the local schools. However, we are in a district that is known for it's work with children with special needs.

Please tell me that they teach in northern California. I'm on a mission for my boy. My ears are perked and I'm willing to hear anyone's story, quite honestly.

We built a house in a very good school district that has an awesome special needs program.. Regardless you need to educate yourself with the I.E.P process.. We thought we knew everything until or local Autism advocate asked to attend one of our I.E.P meetings..
She had them adding everything from when he goes on bathroom breaks to what he eats at lunch and snack times.
We even required the school system to provide an individual Para after they first refused saying they couldn't provide individual service..
Study this like you would a rare coin.. Learn everything you can... IDEA

Central Ohio, sorry I'm sure you'll be able to find some great people out there as well, there are more out there than you know. The horror stories make the news and the most noise, but there are just as many, if not more, perfectly trained and willing teachers out there.
