HELP!!
Posted on 14 Jan, 2010

I don't even know where to begin. I need some advise. I have an autistic son who will be 5 in March. Me and his father are going through a divorce. As many of you may know autistic children usually attach themselves to some one and because my ex husband never worked and stayed home that person is him. Now that we are separated my son is with his father. But, and this is the big but he isn't doing much for his care. He does go to a program daily for half the day but there is so much more he can be doing considering that he is home with him. I really believe that my son's progression could be so much more. But I don't know if pulling him away from his father and family will do more damage than good. I'm afraid that if I do take him he will digress. Without putting my ex husband's business out there I know that in the long run that it will be better for him. I guess being a mom I don't want to hurt my son by pulling him away from his best friend and father but I also want what's best for my son. I just don't want to take him and have him digress......HELP any advice?????

I don't know if this will help but maybe you and your ex can sit down and discuss what is best for your son, the other programs and stuff that will help him to be all that he can. If you and your ex can't do that you can hve a mediator help you.

What custody time do you have now? Is there anyway his father will let you pick him set up a schedule where you pick him up for a certain time span each day? Maybe 2 hours a day where you can spend time with your son implementing your skills? If not you may need to go to Court to ask for extra time to serve your sons medical needs. That way you don't have to pull him fully away from his dad, and you can both Co-Parent...unless its a safety issue... then that's totally different.
