[QUOTE="BrainGoBoom, post: 406622, member: 11125"] I hear you all. We'll be pursuing the neuropsychologist evaluation. To the credit of the school psychiatric--she brought it up in the first place. She seems sharp and on the ball. One of the things that is a challenge with Bug is that he holds himself together at school, so I understand why she would respond as she did. She honestly didn't see it. At this point, I am not satisfied that any of the diagnosis that have been tossed his way are correct; nor am I satisfied that he is on the correct medications. He seems to be holding himself together at the Residential Treatment Facility (RTF) as well. He has earned his way off of the evaluation hold and is attending the school on campus today. My biggest fear is that he'll work to game the system and not present his symptoms to the staff. We'll be raising these concerns when we meet with his primary therapist next week. Our Bug is a complex kid, and teasing out the correct diagnosis that addresses any physiologic issues as well as emotionally based mal-adaptive behavior is my top priority. I intent to communicate that to the cadre of professionals involved. While I know they tend to operate within their specialty and area of expertise, I have faith that they have the best interest of the patient at heart. And if they don't, well, I do, and I'm not quiet when it comes to being his advocate. [/QUOTE]
