[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 399947"] I can also promise you that NOT getting that evaluation will eventually cause a lot more damage to everyone. You were lucky to get a doctor with that as a first step, both of my kid's doctors have flat refused to give her the referral, even after a week spent in a psychiatric hospital that also didn't give her the referral. I finally made a call and got the referral from the insurance company directly. A lot of neuropsychs also have a long waiting list, and the sooner you get him in the better off everyone will be. If you have to bribe, appeal to his ego, or even have him transported by police or ambulance to get him evaluated, by all means do it. He won't get better on his own - he will get bigger and stronger and harder to maintain and handle. Better one meltdown getting him there than the continuous punishment he will put everyone else through, including himself, even if he doesn't realize it right now. If you feel it's best to pack him in the car and not tell him where you're going (I suggest you get a sitter for the others and have one adult in the backseat with him) then do it that way. [/QUOTE]
