I am crying as I write this. I want to have hope but I am depressed. My son has level one autism. I am doing my best to help him. I didn't want to believe what his FIE says, but as he is doing virtual school due to Covid 19 everything the teachers have said is true. I see it now that I am at home. He cannot keep up in the classroom at all. He cannot spell or type. He barely can write a legible sentence. When he is at home he talks all of the time but when he speaks to his teachers he will only give one word answers. He was in the general classroom, but I can hear that he teacher moved him to SPED. He is already in Sped when he was physically in school classroom. I had them to retest him over the summer because I thought he was improving. I feel that there is no light at then end of tunnel for me, and he will never succeed academically. I tried my best to get him in ECI as a young child but according to them he wasn't far enough behind to be admitted . The pediatrician said a stimulant like adderall or focalin would not be helpful if the hyperactivity was due to autism. I am just not understanding the disconnect.
