This is my first blog, yes I am behind the times.  I am a newly stay-at-home mother of 3, my oldest son has autism.  My husband and I have been married 11 + years and according to statistics, I am one of the 14% who has support and help from her spouse.  We have been using the traditional school therapies and biomedical treatments to combat our son's autism. I am interested in others' opinions on the "diet", chelation, vaccination effects, and other therapies. 

My first question is should we be getting therapists for the summer beyond the extended school year?  What about on the weekends during school?  We have always followed what the school district told us and no one mentioned additional therapies beyond what the school provides.

Second, Is anyone successful in getting refunds or coverage for treatments from their insurance company?  My next battle is with the insurance company and getting tax breaks for medical expenses.

 Thanks!
