I am sorry that your DD is having such difficulties but want to offer you hope if she is in fact autistic. There is help out there for autism. I know, because my niece is autistic, and today at 13 years old is doing very well. She now attends a wonderful school that is devoted to special needs children and young adults. There are many different forms of autism and many advances in tx it.

Although she will never be quite like other children, we believe that she will be able to grow up functional enough to be a contributing member of society. This is something that could not be accomplished in the regular public schools.

Check in your area for any special needs schools or programs that deal with autism. Her doctor may be able to guide you. Start checking around now as the earlier she gets into a program, the better. If you want to PM me to talk, please do. I am happy to share information I may have to help you.

Hugs,
Carolyn
