[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 29710, member: 1550"] Sadly, a child needs parents who can "get it" or the kid is in deep trouble. These parents, IF and only IF reported accurately, sound unable to handle their own lives, let alone the lives of three children with big problems. I do question early diagnoses--questioned the professionals from Day One and consider myself aware and informed, yet I also allowed my son to be medicated when he didn't need to be (although I thought he did). We are taught to trust our doctors and, the scary part is, it is almost impossible to really tell ADHD from bipolar from Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) from high functioning autism in such a young child. I can't tell you how fast doctors, from pediatricians to psychiatrists and everything in between, wanted to throw my "Hyperactive" son on stimulants for ADHD, and we did it because we thought they were right, even if we saw "something more." They literally brainwashed me into thinking it couldn't be autism, it HAD to be ADHD. THen the next diagnsis was bipolar, and the medications he took were sooooooooooo strong and had so many side effects and when I tried to question the diagnosis, I got shouted down from all points. I don't know if these parents are just ignorant or if they're abusive--because I don't trust newspaper accounts. If this story is true, they were alarmingly abusive. But nobody bothered to step in and rescue this little girl and her siblings from inept parents either. Nobody cared enough. Why didn't the uncle call the paramedics when he saw the little girl so sick? Everyone involved with this child let her down. It's so sad. [/QUOTE]
