[QUOTE="buddy, post: 592384, member: 12886"] Hi! I can so relate to the housing issues. One thing I found out is that I had some leverage saying they can't discriminate because my son has a disability. My county social worker said they would step in. Do you have any support from the county? You can call them and see of you can get a Children's disability case manager. This is not child protection.... They help find financial resources like grants etc. They help coordinate services and our case manager even got me a grant to pay for the first months rent and the damage deposit to be able to move to a new home. I am in a well built townhome with people on the sides but three levels and a large deck with no stairs so he is stuck. The garage is attached on the lowest level, and it's private! Jumping etc. does not bother people. My neighbors have kids and i never hear them and they are active. It's not a rental complex so the homes are well built for owners (the owner of this one tents it out). A mobile home is also a very good idea. Call your doctor (while looking for a new one) and let them know you are having an emergency. That being off medications is causing him to be so out of control that you may be evicted and homeless. That school is concerned and he is having UNSAFE behavior. Demand to restart which ever medications you felt worked. I would agree to do all you can to change his care to a psychiatrist, not a pediatrician. At the very least try to get a developmental pediatrician. Has he ever had an occupational therapy evaluation? He may be sensory seeking, needing lots of input. Maybe it would be worth getting an evaluation for sensory integration disorder. I know how hard it is, I really do. Luckily I did have good medical people. That really makes a huge difference. Hugs to you! [/QUOTE]
