Ss5 had an IEP last week and it was suggested by the physical therapist that he MIGHT not have Autism. She said that while it may have been the closest thing the doctor could come to in order to describe his issues at the time(he was 3), Ss5 no longer displays some of the major signs of autism.

Yeah that went right over BM's head. She always wanted a special needs child and continues to tell people that ss5 has autism dispute it being suggested by numerous other people including DH, his teachers and ss7 therapist. Even ss5 doctor at the last visit said he wasn't sure any more but when we ask to get him re-evaluated BM says no or drags her feet. Shockingly enough BM no longer likes that doctor and is 'looking for a new one'.

We are going to see how he does next school year and work with him over the summer if he continues to improve we will push for a re-evaluation. Not looking forward to the stupid battle. But DH is worried that having Autism on his medical file will hurt him later in life.

On another note BM may still think he has it because he still does al the stuff at her house because she lets him. The screaming, crying, and fit throwing.
