[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 15664, member: 1697"] I am curious what his blood sugar level was before you had to call police? That could have been a factor in his behavior. I am also curious, - do you interpret for your son while they are making arrangements for an outside interpreter to be brought in? So that he knows what is going on in the meantime? It is possible they may feel since he is your child, and with his multiple spec needs you might be a more effective interpreter due to his level of understadning etc.....some things might go across better to him coming from you. It is a sad reality that many of the people who are ultimately shot by police are not deserving of being shot....but in the heat of the moment, when it is all on the wire.....it does happen. When you called 9-1-1 did you tell them on the phone that he was deaf, so they knew that before they arrived? I have heard of many cases where deaf signing was misinterpreted in an emergency as any number of "threatening" things- You might want to consider a re evaluation with whatever doctor is following his diabetes -maybe testing blood sugar levels more often? or a different insulin regime, and consider being a co-interpreter - I have a feeling many adult interpreters do not have much experience with MR, and the other diagnosis'es your son has-----and even hearing children have difficulty understanding things when they have those types of diagnosis'es. Simply providing a communication of words might not be enough. The Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) and MR may skew his perceptions of the communication. My heart goes out to you, this must be so difficult. [/QUOTE]
