Hi everyone i am so excited to have found this place of support. I have a 13 year old son who has high functioning Autism, ADHD, and explosive conduct disorder he is very verbal and had only a few issues as of right now, a lot of his issues center around his inappropriate social skills but then there is is his out right defiance and wanting to argue with us about everything. at present we have not been able to find him a adhd medication that will work and we do not have access to adequate psychological services being on state Medicaid we have 3 main phsycs to choose from and all they ever have wanted to treat is his ADHD. His ADHD is the least of our worries actually we are more worried about his self destructive and violent out burst, so much so we are looking at enrolling him into a different school program out of county.
I have been very active in this world we call special needs so much so i have went back to school and in the process of getting a 2 year degree in family and social services just for helping my son and families like ours.
in the last 2 years when my son gets into trouble at home and school part of him exploding is he is now saying that he just wants to "Die" the same child who throw a melt down when he doesn't want to do a activity in class and i know it 90% learned behavior he was ether suspended on had in school suspensions 8 times last year the school was insisting that i put him back on adhd medication and allow the school to to give it to him when i was asking for a behavioral intervention beyond his "PBS class" Positive behavioral support his teacher insisted she was the school behaviorist and the district would not bring in a person for his needs as it was not needed . so i am a bit frustrated as normally he will tone down over the summer but he is at the same intensity as the school year and i have feeling it going to be rougher with him entering the 8th grade this coming year.
As a form of self help i have been running 2 support group geared more for families who have medical fragile individuals where we have swapped medical equipment and supplies "if you want the FB group info just PM me" and sorry for me to Rant on my into and for my bad grammar i am also very dyslexic.
thanks again
