School age kids having behavioral problems in school

Definitely there are issues, mostly societal and like I mentioned with the limited resources available. I really expected the groups to be like this one, where a person can post about an issue or concern or ask a question and the community will try to assist as best they can but so far it hasn't really been like that, the group admins mostly post links to articles and workshops, but honestly it's all about what the groups are trying to accomplish but basically they're stagnated due to lack of dialogue with the relevant authorities. Someone will try to answer the questions but the support is lacking.

@pamelacelia I see. That is frustrating! I checked out the Autistic Society of Trinidad and Tobago on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/autisticsocietytt/
I'm not sure if you're a part of this group but it looks like they host monthly meetings in San Fernando, and have a list of schools that are accommodating to students diagnosed with ASD. But anyway, I know how hectic it can be to travel to in-person meetings especially if they aren't nearby. Sometimes online communities are more helpful.
Here is a global support group called "Autism Mamas" https://www.facebook.com/groups/339749279805390/
They have one for dads too.
There's a special sort of warmth to the community here on Mayo Clinic Connect, so I see what you mean and I hope you'll continue coming here for support 🙂
