[QUOTE="cfa3, post: 499261, member: 6817"] Aww thanks Buddy....our kids do seem very similar and yes I truly get that this is neurological situation mainly. The anxiety is very bad and the moods are bad, but it all ties in together. I am wary of everything because no direction we've gone in has helped. Tried the autism stuff (ABA, charts), not for him didnt work. Psychiatry - nothing. We are going to be getting what I am praying will be a top notch neuropsychologist evaluation in a few weeks. I am hoping that will point us in some direction. As for the Residential Treatment Center (RTC), that idea is floating around because any time my son has spent in a very controlled and almost rigid environment (not TOO rigid, he needs flexibility too!) he has thrived and felt so much better. He is so loose and jiggly in his brain that those environments impose an order and control that soothes him (to a POINT of course, not talking about authoriatian boot camp stuff). For instance, last stay was 10 days at psychiatric hospital and he practially loved it. He came home ordered, calmer, etc. But I cannot duplicate that at home, just cant do it. So thinking about an Residential Treatment Center (RTC), shorter term, to instill some independence, calm, and some behavior habits that may last once home....not sure yet what to do. Downside: he doesnt responds to medications at all. The facility I have been in contact with claims they are fine with dual diagnosis kids (Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)/mental health). It is hard when youre child has so many different challenges - as our psychiatrist says my son is a moving target, like a pie with so many different peices, you start to target one and he has moved on to another. Thank you for your words! [/QUOTE]
