[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 28863, member: 1991"] It's good new that the psychiatric is finally seeing that the problem is beyond previous diagnosis description. The autism was a label that plugged you in to some help, but I agree with you, it no longer comes close to describing what you're seeing. Or, there could be something else as well, although he seems too capable in some ways for even an Asperger's label. But time and some more expert assessment (particularly once a lot of the current problems are explained and under control - let's hope!) may give a much more accurate diagnosis. Sounds like that's much closer now. Good news. Carers NSW - they may not be able to help in practical ways (sounds like they can't help with respite) but I WAS hoping they would at least advise you on various courses of action. And when the kids are older, there is support there for easy child as well. The counsellor's failure to get back to the psychiatrist - it is going to make the school look VERY bad. I've recently heard of bad things in a similar way from an unknown school in your area - I'm wondering if it's the same one. No way of knowing right now. I'd hate to think this sort of treatment of kids is endemic. Get busy taking the photos, it's a vital thing to do. We do the same with difficult child 3, even if it's a no fault situation - when he had a tick in the corner of his eye and his eye area became really dark and swollen, we took photos so if anyone accused us of giving him a black eye we could show them the photo and point to the tick. When he got attacked in the street by a younger kid going to the same school - we photographed his injuries. We never needed to do anything more with them, but maybe they'll go into the book I'm writing! Do let us know how you get on with the extra psychiatric appointments. Marg [/QUOTE]
