 Please don't be shy!
Any idea you have that might make this guild better or more productive, I am happy to hear it! Even if it means something that I am doing wrong! I'm not easily insulted! xD

I feel that all the RP guilds have more popularity in about a day.
Maybe if we had an RP subforum it would bring in a bit more popularity...
But then, maybe people will get off track of why this guild was made :/

I am a roleplayer. Its the main reason I joined Gaia back in the day.
While I agree that they are popular, I don't want this guild to turn into just another roleplay guild.
However, if more members show an interest in me making a forum for roleplaying, I will gladly do so.

I think it would be nice to have some where to talk about the diagnosis process. My particular interest would be early start programs and such, but I wouldn't want to specifically target parents... I don't know, just a thought! Keep up the good work! whee

I know there are more older gaians out there than people think. ^^
I don't think it would be a bad thing to target something towards parents. We can find a way to hook it around and get the non-parents involved too.
I think maybe I'll change one of the forums.

On another note Sans,
I know you mentioned your son was diagnosed last year. I don't remember if you said how old he was or not. My son recently aged out of the early intervention programs in my state and though I'm not the most organized individual and I'm pretty darn forgetful, I'd be happy to discuss such things with you. My first year was an utter mess. I'd hate for anyone to have the experiance I did. (Though you sound quite a bit more together than I was xD)

My first year was an utter mess. I'd hate for anyone to have the experiance I did. (Though you sound quite a bit more together than I was xD) My son is 3, almost 4, and I wish we would have caught it sooner so he could have gotten more from early start. (he only got a few months of service from them) Actually I'm a bit frustrated with our new regional center (we moved 2 months ago and still haven't gotten any services) and would like to ask you about how your case was processed. We went through the regional center, and our case worker handled everything we needed, from behavioral therapy to preschool. She got everything processed. Well, when I moved here, and my new case worker FINALLY has the time to talk to me (a month later...) she tells me that I have to go through the school district, and that they handle the majority of the paper work. So I'm pretty clueless now as to how this all is going to be processed and what to expect next. Have you had a similar experience? sweatdrop

Early intervention went incredibly smooth, especially since I had no clue what was going on. Once he was aged out and in the school system, things didn't go near as easy.
I've learned that once your out of that early steps, you gotta be on your toes otherwise you'll get the bare minimum of what they are capable of giving.
I don't know what your insurance is or your state, but I do know that EVERY state is obligated to provide services for your child. The school system will only provide so much.

That is a great, informative website. It also can get you connected with other parents who know the system and what you are entitled to. I highly reccomend it.
He finally got my son back into speech therapy after 6 months of break with my insurance company running me around in circles. Overall, I've been pretty lucky though. Be very careful with the school system and make sure you know exactly what help he's getting there. public schools are notorious for letting children with disabilities slip through the cracks. Alot of times they aren't looking to help your child improve, they are just happy to let him sit there.

Getting insurance to pay for services is really hard. We finally have services for our child at the local university.

I know. Why don't we have a section on the different website which can help people learn more about autism/apergues or give information for people who have it. I know loads of websites so I'm wondering if it's ok if i can start this.

daseam I know. Why don't we have a section on the different website which can help people learn more about autism/apergues or give information for people who have it. I know loads of websites so I'm wondering if it's ok if i can start this. Lots of resource links, definitely. I also suggest that we might make a Chatterbox-Spam sub-forum to promote more actvity and I wouldn't mind making some more diverse banners to put in people's signatures to referr more members.
