My son is four and is doing alot of yelling to get what he wants. He has words but chooses to yell because he seems to think it's more effective. I'm getting complaints from my neighbors. I'm looking for a respite care program that might can give me a break in the evenings and on weekends. Someone to come into the home for a couple of hours and work directly with my son or even take him on outings. The programs I've looked into are too expensive for me to pay out of pocket. I'm no where near the top of the waiver list and I have an application in with DDA.

What can I do next?

Hello N.. I also have an autistic child. She's six. We used to live in Baltimore city, but moved to Howard county last year for the resources here. Have you contacted the Autism Society and Pathfinders? Are you familiar with the Shafer Center? Do you have a contact at Kennedy Krieger? Have you tried any of the programs at the Towson Y? I don't want to try to give you information you already have, but if you need these resources, please let me know, and I will be happy to provide more information for you. Best of luck.

What school do you have your son enrolled in? Have you received any help from the school district?

My babysitter and her boyfriend work for an agency that gives respite care and helps children with autism. I believe the agency is called CHAMPS. I believe they service Baltimore County as well as Howard.
