Hi There!


I'm the mom to a (almost) 6-year-old dx'd HFA back in 2004.

yeah, email me through my profile off the board and I can give you lots of info. I live about 15 minutes from Escondido and deal with the san diego regional center.

ps, as far as districts ours has had the reputation for the best for autism in the area but others may be catching up. You do still often have to fight for services but it is a winnable fight. The district folk at the elementary level are really good. At least the ones I have been dealing with. email me and I will give you all the dirt I know on local districts. If you end up in San Diego City, I know the autism team down there VERY well, lol.

Welcome to the board.


I can understand not wanting to rock the boat with ds, since it seems to be going so well.

No problem. Glad I can be of help. Always love to hear we have locals.

OH and BTW we have THE BEST autism society here. They have summer autism camp AND summer surf camp for kids with autism. Pool parties, etc. Voted chapter of the year in '05 I think. They are one of the best reasons to come to SD county for a family with autism. We have a North County AS/HFA group that meets monthly. A couple other mom's from this board go occasionally. I am going to try and change my schedule soon so I can go once in a while.
