[QUOTE="PassedExhausted, post: 354485"] Thank you all for your advice and support. I found this board when I didn't feel like I could get any lower. I'm glad I did. I've regained the confidence I lost while doing the psychiatric dance again. Only I know my son best. As a few of you pointed out, he did act out at school....but it was 4 years ago. The main point is that he acts out everywhere but this school. I've spoken with his ICM...and we're looking for neuropsychs in the area or somewhere close. We're also looking into the option of keeping him in the school program he's in but perhaps just closing out the day-hab case and getting him back to his previous pyschologist and a pyschiatrist that can handle his medications. The Residential Treatment Center (RTC) is still on the table.....but not yet. I can't. I don't feel (even after all these years) that I've explored every possibility to try to help him and keep him with me. A major concern for me is that he will get to an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) and withdraw totally into himself. F doesn't have the social skills to deal well in new or uncomfortable situations. He maintains by telling people what he thinks they want to hear and squashing any feelings to pull out later...at home...and not in a good way. Or he blindly follows, no matter what trouble is brewing. I did find out that while his psychiatrist told me what a great session they had....(and I didn't ask my son about it because I was upset about the whole "family dynamic" thing) my son all of sudden tells me Sat night that I was a liar. He tells me that I lied when I told him that I'd tell the school that he was uncomfortable having his teacher in on his session with the Dr. ARRRGGHHH!!! I did tell them...nicely. I inquired if someone else could sit in with him. I was livid....and did NOT show it to him. But I did apologize to him and asked him how he felt about the session. He tells me he was uncomfortable. So how can two people have a session together, one walks away saying what a great session it is and the other felt uncomfortable...and not good? Interesting that one of you answered my post stating that a dr told you that your child didn't fall on the spectrum due to the fact that he makes eye contact.

I thought that was significant when combined with his sensory issues, developmental delays and auditory/speech deficiencies....but no one else did. So....thank you all for your support...hopefully I can give some insight to one of you someday!! MK [/QUOTE]
