[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 201092, member: 1233"] Woofens, It really sounds like you are on the right track! I am glad teh pediatrician is pushing so hard for you. I have a cousin near Columbus (I have family scattered all OVER Ohio) who have a son with autism to the point he is 7 and nonverbal. I KNOW Columbus has some really good docs, so keep checking there. If residential can be done, go for it. The level of violence warrants it. You can use your cell phone camera to document rages, if nothing else is available. There are also some decent video cameras that hang on your belt and cost about $100 - we got husband one for his birthday last year. It is just a little bigger than his blackberry, literally. And I know my blackberry takes dang good pics, and was only $20 wehn we renewed our contract. Videos can be put onto a micro SD chip and then onto a computer. They can also be watched on the phone. I have the Pearl, if that helps. Anyway, I am glad I could reassure you. 6 or 7 or even 10 seems so YOUNG to be put into a psychiatric hospital, or residential program, but you do what you must do for the best interest of your child. I know that going to all the therapy sessions AND most of the visiting hours made a big difference in how the staff treated my child, AND in their prognosis for his recovery after he was out of the psychiatric hospital. Accept ANY help you can get - in home, doctor office, drive to Columbus, whatever. It amazes me that you got into the psychiatrist THIS MONTH!! Many of us have had to wait 3 or more months to see a psychiatrist for the first time. I hope that this doctor can help. Hugs, Susie [/QUOTE]
