Hello. I am preparing to go to an IEP for my 4 yr old son who has ASD (dxd july 2009) as well as OCD and TS (dxd little over 1 yr now). I'm desperate for any suggestions for services to request, strategies and accommodations specific to OCD/TS. He has been at the school for 1.5 years and the staff is clueless as to how to deal with his OCD and causing more stress on him. As a result of their ignorance as well as mine, he is suffering quite a bit in the school setting. I think what is being mistaken for ASD behaviors are part of his OCD behaviors and regardless of which the interventions being used are exaserbating his problems in class. ANY advice suggestions links etc. you can share would be truly appreciated! Thanks! Amy

Hi. My son shows many symptoms for PANDAS and some of his Drs also feel he does. They have only run the usual ASO, Anti-Dnase which have all come back negative. I was just given an article by Dr. Aristo Vojdani that lists several other tests, but I want to make sure that I go at the right time. Do I go while my son is ill, while he is having an episode of the behaviors associated with PANDAS or can I get this at anytime without it effecting the results? TIA Amy
