[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 261031, member: 1233"] Welcome!!! I know what you mean about sites turning into ghost towns. Just when I think I have found a site for some topic or another, I remember to check teh dates of the posts and they are often weeks to a couple of years old!!It can be rather frustrating, can't it?? I have been here for several years, and others have been here longer (and shorter) than I have. overall it is a VERY supportive and helpful group. With all that your kids have going on, I would say you will fit right in!!! It does sound like your kids have more than their fair share of problems. I am so sorry. It hurts to see them hurting like that, doesn't it? Yet if they manage to triumph over their problems they are so very special. Forged by fire, as it were. One thing you can do that will help us it to make a signature with your kids' diagnosis's like you see at the bottom of other posts. you can make one through the User CP button at the top of the page. Have your kids been evaluated by a neuropsychologist? It stands for neuropsychologist and they have extra training in how the brain impacts behavior. A good neuropsychologist will do 10 to 15 hours of testing over a period of several days or weeks. Then it is all analysed to see what you are dealing with. They seem to give very accurate pictures of teh true problems, as well as suggestions for interventions and accomodations. If it is at all possible many people here HIGLY recommend them. If you get a neuropsychologist who only does 5-7 hours of testing, it seems useful to find another neuropsychologist to finish getting to the heart of things. just in my opinion for that bit of "wisdom". If a neuropsychologist only does 1-3 hours of testing I would find another one to do a proper job. Again, that is my opinion only. How do your kids do in school? Does your 14yo get a lot of grief from the teachers because teh absences due to hospitalization? It is very tough to be that age with-o this type of problems. it seems so much harder with all of this stuff going on, doesn't it?? I am glad you joined us, I hope we see you around a lot more. Happy Saturday! [/QUOTE]
