Eli’s diagnosis and EIP was removed midway through Kindergarten, but issues still remain. The school system believes Eli is fine because his disability does not negatively affect his abilities as a student in school. Now that Eli is in first grade he is doing a fantastic job but the stim and social issues continue. Clearly Eli still needs help so we are about to take on the school district and try to get him additional help that was stripped from him going into first grade.
Our goal is to have him tested again to see if he is classified with Aspergers Syndrome. Eli fits the bill with all the classic symptoms and he is now old enough for that diagnosis (six is the earliest a child can be diagnosed accurately with Asbergers). Our goal is if there is help he can receive, then we want that help. It is all about his future. We want the best for him.
I will let you know what happens.

There is more than help for Asperger’s – there are cures for it.
I should know; I grew up with severe Asperger’s and dyslexia. But fortunately 50 years ago it wasn’t known so I just ‘dealt with it’. I struggle through school, sports and social situations. But for some reason I was a tenacious. Once out of college I decided to fix whatever I had.
35 years of holistic health has healed 90% or more of my metal disability. Today I am left with many of the benefits of Asperger’s and dyslexia.
