[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 334538, member: 1233"] Cinders, it is NOT hopeless. With intervention ASAP, your niece can be TAUGHT how to behave and react. There are quite a few conditions that can be seen as having no conscience. Various autistic disorders can look this way. IF you can get past that horror and shock at her actions you may be able to help in very real ways. Teaching her to want to not displease a single, important (to her) can have dramatic results. After 4 months in a psychiatric hospital my son came home. He did very very well for over a year. We had to have him skip a grade, which took a LOT of paperwork and having his docs each write letters. Our school district has a middle school for 6-7 and a jr high for 7-8. The middle school is a very unhealthy environment, which is sad because we generally have really good schools. By putting him straight into 8th grade he was able to escape the middle school and the tortures he had experienced there (the sp ed teacher was ignoring everything in his IEP and the things he was able to access using HER computer ID was terrifying to ME and to him.) We used his grandparents and his 5th grade sp ed teacher as his persons not to disappoint and it worked VERY well. He is now 18, lives near us with my parents, and is doing incredibly well. there CAN be hope, IF she gets help starting NOW. Hugs, Susie [/QUOTE]
