Hey there you probably have found help for your son by now. If not you should consider getting him enrolled in early childhood development. That will get him in the special school district and he will be covered for education. Unfortunately there is not a lot of help out here for this condition. You should try to contact your nearest regional center for disabilites, also your son's doctor should be able to refer you to specialists. Whatever you decide to do just don't give up!!! It's hard and very confusing at many times but you have to know that your son needs as much personal one on one as you can get him. Occupational, physical,and speech therapies are extremely necessary. Get your son as much help now and things will be easier for both of you in the future. I have a seven year old autistic son. He inspires me everyday!
