At Last a bit of Good News

[SurfCutter]

As some of you may know things here are on a break up after 16 years and of late I have not been at my best .... I got a break today in that my son has had a Core Test at my request to the school and the results are what I expected he does not have in any way shape or form what that quack doctor reported him to have that my hopefully soon to be ex-wife had taken him to .....Asperger Syndrome
Now that I and the school have a good base line to start at I must take the next steps for what is best for him , a tutor which he has now may be changed or improved instruction to better deal with his current needs given this report. It just floors me how easy it is to cause so much damage with just a few half truths and a Doctor willing to listen and not follow up the sources .....

idiot doctor labeling a kid with this or that syndrome. I feel if a child has a learning disability, as in not paying attention, or slower in class, pay closer attention, and help them. Kids are much better off,without being labeled. Keep on pressing the right buttons Bill! Stick to what you think is the right thing to do!

and probably a heck of a lot less, you will wonder why it was so painful. Pick up the pieces and look forward. Don't look back as it does no good. The future is always bright if you let it be

your son? I am so very glad for you and him that he does not have Asperger Syndrome, as my 6 year grandson does. Very slight, but still enough to make him a bit "different" from the other children at school. He went to a school before kindergarten for three years previous which helped him so much, but it breaks my heart to see this little angel having so many problems so young. We are having him re-tested after Christmas, and I just pray every night for God to not let the children make fun of him at school, or make him feel less. He is already in kindergarten, and kids can just be down right cruel. I have shed many a tear for him over the past 4-5 years. All we can hope for is that the older he gets, the better he will become. He is not retarded, as he is a very smart little boy. He just has some social issues......well, if you know anything about this at all you know what I am talking about. David is due to have a new baby sister this coming Tuesday, and he is very excited about her. All we can do is just love them that much more! He knows I love him, for he will look ME in the eyes, and most children with Asperger's will not make eye contact.

Your ex sure does not want to wish something like this on your son, just for her gain. And I am one that believes if you have enough money you can find a doctor that will say whatever you want them to say! You hang in there, and don't quit fighting for him. He needs you too! You are his dad. Sorry, didn't mean to get on my soapbox! Good luck!
