My son is 6 now and it took us 2+ yrs (we started before he was 2) to just to get him DIAGNOSED. After diagnosis (age 4) I thought we were set to get him help. The WI waiver system for autism services makes me cry. My son just NOW is at the top of the list for intensive home services after 2 years on the list. We applied April 18, 2006, 2 weeks after his diagnosis. Our insurance excludes services for autism (developmental delay), and he was over 3 so wasn't eligible for birth-3 services. My goal now is that no other parent should feel alone in this. We live in central WI and it just shouldn't be this hard. My son isn't the first or last with Asperger's in this area, but my constant mission is AWARENESS. Earlier is better, knowledge is everything. Yes it difficult being a parent of an autistic child, but it's even harder BEING the autistic child. Accept, learn and encourage more, judge less! Easter Seals has helped our older son with sibling camps, and our younger one will go to Asperger's camp starting next year.
