[QUOTE="DDD, post: 275189, member: 35"] i shouldn't even post tongith because I am tired to the max and the blankin' bug is getting worse...........but.........what to hay. The latest neuropsychologist did a 34 page report on difficult child. Guess what was included in the recommendations section?? It was recommended that we explore a "therapeutic or companion dog" for him to take to college so he won't be so socially lonely. He either has Aspergers Syndrome or Schitzotypial personality disorder. Either way he does not make friends easily and there are organizations that have trained dogs (yes DOGS) that can provide companionship or assistance. Wow. I exchanged almost ten emails with the lady from 4Paws today and I am really impressed. They have seizure dogs, companion dogs, assistance dogs etc. and it is "doable". There are separate organizations that have Psychiatric Assistance Dogs for those with serious mental healh issues. I asked her if it "was ok" to share with the Board and she said "sure". This is absolutely something that I had NO knowledge of prior to this week and I am impressed. difficult child probably will have a "friend" in college a year from now. Hope it is interesting to you all too. DDD [/QUOTE]
