Hello, I have never reached out to anyone in regards to not knowing what to do.. My 11 year old son has been diagnosed with high functioning autism and ADHD.. We have always struggled with school and social activities, but over-all the melt downs had seemed to stop for a long while!! Recently, my son has become very emotional.. I can't figure out a specific trigger and nothing in our routine has changed, other than school is fixing to start.. When I ask him what he is upset about he tells me that he has a hard time explaining what he is thinking, and he will get tongue-tied when trying to talk about things.. Where I live we don't have much as far as therapy goes.. To many, including family members that we don't see often, he seems like a perfectly normal kiddo! (While of course he is perfect in my eyes) I hear all too often that ASD is out of the question.. This makes it hard for me to look to anyone for support.. Is anyone else going through this?? Any suggestions at all?!
