[QUOTE="Shari, post: 177041, member: 1848"] Thanks all. I am just at wits' end (no offense, Witz). This is going on a month of this behavior. I am so far behind at work and home and we're supposed to be leaving for "vacation" on Friday. Its not looking like much of a vacation if its going to be like this. The upside being he at least won't be at school. I am not comfortable at all with his diagnosis'es. The "medical" team has poo-poo'ed the Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) diagnosis and restricted any access to therapies directed at that. I don't know which of the diagnosis'es fits, but I am seriously irritated that they won't even allow him to TRY the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) center for therapy. Just try...if it works, I'll drive him to KC and pay out of pocket for it. I can work from there... I know he processes things differently. We've known that for years. I don't know what it all means, but I don't think we have the answers we need yet, and the team here has basically stopped looking. The allergist/immunologist is trying to get him in for a second opinion in KC or StL but there's a 22 month wait for both. I'm so incredibally frustrated. I think, largely, he can't help this, but I don't know how to help him, and I don't know what else to do to try. He is just like his bio dad. His bio dad's mom is 2 credit hours away from her masters in psyche. That doesn't make her an expert, but she busted her :censored2: trying to help bio dad 40 years ago. Just like I'm busting mine now. I'm so afraid its not going to do any good. Not trying to borrow trouble, just....so many things flying around my head...mostly, just how do I maintain my life/job/home/sanity and continue to live with difficult child like this? There's got to be answers, but what are they... [/QUOTE]
