[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 385364, member: 805"] Sharon, it's morning now, I hope you got some positive outcome from the psychiatrist meeting last night. You know, this is where things get really difficult for our kids. On the one hand, they need these supports and modifications at school in order to "level the playing field" a bit so they can get academic instruction. On the other hand, there comes a point when these kids of ours are going to have to survive in the real world without some of this support. When do we pull away? When do we test them? Are we making allowances? Are our accommodations teaching them anything? When is it time to step in and seek medical attention that our kids can't get being in the mainstream school (meaning phospital time)? This is something that has weighed on me for years. Do I really and truly believe that the only way my difficult child can get through is with a miriad of supports and modifications in school? I don't know. It seems that when he has made the most progress it has been when he has been tested and challenged. When our kids aren't stable, which very well may be the case with your son right now, I think all best are off. I think calling our children to a higher place can't happen unless they are stable. My gut, were I in your place, is that he is not stable and needs hospitalization. In the span of 10 days we have had two extreme cases of violence. In both cases there really is no memory of the incident on his part nor is there anything that he can learn to change in future because he doesn't remember the incidents. I'm sorry you are back in this place again Sharon. You and husband work so very hard to provide a great education for so many kids and work even harder to raise and educated your own. Hugs, Sharon [/QUOTE]
