[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 551403, member: 3419"] I signed up for a NAMI course and boy, is it accelerated. I'm used to taking lifelong learning classes for memoir writing just for fun! It didn't help that I missed the first class ... I had decided not to go but it turned out that a former neighbor is going and we can ride together. We're only a couple of miles apart, which is much better than the 30 miles to drive alone to the class. It is fascinating and very thorough. It covers the medical diagnosis aspects, and then allows people to chat a bit, but only a little, because they work hard to stay on time. One funny thing was all the food there. It starts at 6 and I had been snacking so I wouldn't pass out by 8 p.m. I thought, wow, a free class, pd for by tax dollars, and all that food too? How do they get the funding? And at the end of the class, the instructor/facilitator passed around a sign-up sheet because we're all supposed to make food to bring ... lol. Wow there is sooo much crossover between dxes. One thing we all agreed on was MD jerks who make immediate assessments/dxes, having only met a person once. You really have to get to know somebody and watch their behavior for a long time to be certain. Anyway, thank you all because I would be floundering with-o this board. I know 80% of the terminology and issues, at least so the other % doesn't overwhelm me. Not sure what I'm going to do with-the completion certificate because I do NOT want to be a facilitator! Although teaching husband could be just enough to say I'm an instructor. :) Because he doesn't have time to go, of course ... [/QUOTE]
