I also live in Thailand, and the medical care here is top notch. I live in Chiang Mai and the newest most expensive hospital is Bangkok Hospital.

My daughter was born there via emergency c-section because my wife had pre-eclampsia so there was the OB, a cardiologist, anesthesiologist, and 5 or 6 nurses all in the OR. She spent 4 days in the hospital and my daughter was in and out of the NICU during that time.

Our total bill was $3000. Insurance paid back a portion of it but if we had walked in off the street with no insurance that's what we would have paid.

Sounds like a flocking nightmare.

He is starting preschool next week! Our school system actually has a very good program and he has been doing early intervention for over a year. We recently bought a house and the main concern about location was that it was in a this particular town in the suburbs of our city because the schools are so good there.

If I were you I wouldn't give them the flocking satisfaction.

My 3 year old son was just diagnosed as being "moderately" autistic. He speaks a little and is a very happy and loving boy but has trouble with social interaction and communication. His Mom is a hero, she is a stay at home Mom to him and his older sister and works with him constantly while also doing 3 therapy sessions a week with him.

I guess my question is this; we by no means want to "fix" him but at the same time I want to ensure he has all the skills and confidence to go out and lead a happy and fulfilling life. Can you give some advice or examples of things that happened in your life that helped you find your path?
