My son is 18 now and was diagnoised with PDD at age 14 months. Throughout his schooling he has been tranferred 8 times in the public school system. No one seems to have the right program that fits his needs. I always tried to advocate for him but its seems that my wishes fall on deaf ears. Because he never fitted into a right program ever he has been suspended from school about three times in his life. When I went to all of the hearings and all suspensions were dropped due to the fact that he is in special education for a reason, and had been place there by the board of education because they never had a proper setting for him.My worries never end. He is in private school now specialized for autistic children but he is high function child. I've tried shearching for help in outside agencies but I was always turned away for different reasons. Insurance, his IQ is above the boardline limit requirement, or no space, too costly. I can't put him in any programs and I fear that he is missing out on a lot if he spends his life infront of the TV on video games.He has no friends and little interaction with kids his age. Im a single mom with 2 kids my other child is a girl (13). She as well has trouble understanding her brother. I've been alone in caring for my kids and the pressures of it can get the best of me and I break. I pray for an answer for his sake. I worry about his future if he can live independently work and live alone. He will always need someone to care for him.

He couldnt survive in this world if there is no one to watch over him and care for him.
