Treatment Abuse, Behavior Modification, Thought Reform > Aspen Education Group
My son is currently at Aspen Ranch

First of all, who said I fought with my son? I weigh 90 pounds my son 145 I was trying to perserve my pictures ie; take them from his hands before he flung them to the ground and got more glass everywhere. that is how he broke my thumb him fighting me, not the other way around. Two, he is not being abused at the Ranch, yes it isn't the Ritz, but he isn't being starved, he has shelter, he has protein bars and snacks at his therapist office that I brought him that he tells me he can get anytime he wants. He also has books and CD's there.
He rides horses, loves his teachers. The only thing he doesn't like there and we both agree on this is the level system which is behavior modifcation, which we agreed he didn't have to work on, and the fact that the babysitters were sweet but stupid. The reason I care about his grades is because he cared, he was becoming upset and distressed and wanted to find out what was wrong with him. After his uncle commited suicide and we were afraid that he was going to the same that is when we together went to the Ranch. We all feel that it is not the right program for, but he has learned a lot there. He has learned tolerance and we learned that he has a high I.Q. and he has high Functioning Autism or a type of Aspergers and High Anxiety. Now we will be able to place in a better school. We did not let watch in are room we had a lock on are door but he busted through it. My husband has had 3 back surguries and my son knew that he could take his dad down if he wanted to. He used to say I'm smarte and stronger than you and without respect it's all true. We may have experience on our side but with a 150 verbal I.Q. he could out debate us.
I came home one day and found one of my other son's we have 3 boys and a daughter, locked in the bathroom fearing his life, thinking that this son was going to kill him. I tried everything, before
resorting to sending him away, and it was at his request. So don't judge me or twist my words. My son loves me and we have a great relationship. He doesn't hate me for a minute for sending him. KK

All I want to know is, does anyone have anything constructive to say on this site? My son, and all of his therapist have told us that because of the other kids and my relationship with my husband the house isn't a great place for him. His grandparents offered and he didn't want it either, he wants to go to a boarding school, so if this is what he wants is there any good ones out there with no behavior modefication where he can just get a good education and get skills to cope with his Aspergers and Anxiety and he can exceed where he is gifted. Come and go as he pleases and everyone can be happy! Is there such a place where there is good therapist and good teachers and good food and well meaning people.
I knpw not everyone or everything is perfect but is there a place that isn't purposefully malicious? That's all I'm asking for a nice decent place where my son might learn to be happy and can go on to college and meet a girl and have a nice life. All these professionals are telling me I can't do it. That my husband and my relationship is to dysfunctional to come together to help our son. My kids are so needy they are getting mad at me for spending so much time trying to research a good school and research aspergers or high functioning autism and my husband is mad too. This is what I deal with too. So do you have any help, not crule sarcasm. KK

Sounds like a fight to me, kk. but what the hell, all's well in stepville.
Let us know if you find a program that can help your son get to the heart of his hurt and pain that DOESN'T employ BM- which is exactly what YOU did when you took away the TV. Apparently didn't help him figure out what 'was wrong with him'.
I also find it curious that you demanded and paid for a psych evaluation AFTER he was incarcerated. Why not before? If he requested a program, seems he'd be willing to go for evaluation first.
