The psychologist will milk money from the family for a few years then say they
can't help and refer to a psychiatrist who will label and drug.

Also being autistic is just too trendy right now for me to take anyone seriously
when they say they have it. You should not even be here having a conversation
if you are truly autistic in the classic sense of the word.

How about you go read up on autism and Asperger's syndrome before you
go spouting off about how trendy it is. Where are your credentials in
developmental behavior, psychiatry, psychology, medicine or *anything*
that would qualify you as to write off *any* condition that someone you
don't even know says they (no doubt having been diagnosed by someone
with more brains in their left boot than you) have? (Holy run-on
sentence...sorry!) Oh it's trendy! Oh more people have it nowadays?
Maybe *cancer* is trendy! Maybe cancer patients shouldn't be labelled
and drugged! Or Alzheimers, or anemia, hell maybe even peanut allergies
are entirely too ****ing *trendy* for you to accept. Go educate
yourself before you belittle and **** on people on something you
obviously know **** all about.

(Yes...I swear. A lot. Get over it. I own and work in a redneck bar.
And I have a 3 yo son who's been recently been seeing a team of people
with degrees who know he has developmental problems, and *may* be
autistic. OH MY GOD! *No one* has mentioned drugs. In fact, *no one*
has mentioned money!)

it's also bull**** that all autistics are unable to

drooling.

Coming from someone studying to become a school psychologist, I find it
appalling that ALL school psychologists are being classified as someone
who doesn't know what they are doing. I am going to an amazing school
with wonderful school psychologist who believe that a child should not
be labeled at all if possible. With that being said....

Research your child's school psychologist if there is one. If you meet
with her and don't feel like she is "getting you", then I would suggest
trying something else. A school psychologist can be a wonderful FREE
resource without having to go spend thousands elsewhere.

Also, not all school psychologists are itching to give a child a label.
There are wonderful things called Functional Behavior Assessment Plans
and Behavior Intervention Plans that are used for regular education
students with behavioral problems. Then the school psychologist works
with the teacher (and ideally the parent) to enforce these
interventions in the classroom and at home.

Anyway, bottom line... Check out these things before you start looking
for special schools for your children to attend. Once a child is
labeled, it sticks with them forever so you have to think of how things
will be way down the line in the child's life

Hi,

I have a 5 year old with behavioral problems. I wouldn't say he's
hyperactive, but he love throwing tantrums in school, in stores, at
home. Just about anywhere. He's driving my wife an I crazy. We were
wondering if there is special school for kids with behavioral issues. We
live in Queens, NY, and although chances are slim that someone in this
newsgroup would know specifically of any schools in our area, we would
like to know what to look for. What questions should we be asking? Or is
it just a matter of parenting?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
