[QUOTE="JKF, post: 449075, member: 12470"] Ok...so meeting actually went well. They psychiatrist has decided to keep him in the hospital until Monday. They are doing a full psychiatric evaluation tomorrow. Some of the things that she explained were that she feels he has some major developmental delays and is "stuck" at an 11 year old mentality. She also thinks he shuts down and may actually be addicted to stealing and lying. That's why she says he has absolutely no remorse and never thinks he does anything wrong because people who are addicted to things rarely do. She also thinks he fits some of the characteristics of Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) although not all so she's hesitant to add that to his diagnosis. Finally she explained that she highly doubts he will be able to function in our home and that she feels he needs to go to residential. From there he can get the help he needs and then when he turns 18 he can transfer to an assisted living program. The only problem is that the CMO workers are the ones who are in charge of finding him a placement. They seem to be dragging their feet. Their attitude is that he was in residential 4 years so sending him back won't help. What they don't seem to understand is that the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) he was is was more of a "holding place" for him. What he needs now is a serious intensive program that will help him.
