[QUOTE="buddy, post: 473905, member: 12886"] Hello and welcome. My son is in hospital right now for the first time and I can't imagine it happening over and over. I am so sorry. Poor guy must be so miserable. Yeah, I agree he is on a lot of medications. Mine is too but different ones except he is just starting lithium. He is not bipolar but has a brain injury and Autism. You are certainly not alone in this crowd! Have you had a full private evaluation for him? With the amount of medications, a question of aspergers i would really try to get a complete assessment at a child development center or neurobehavioral center with a neuropsychologist. They have them at university clinics too. You need help sorting thru the issues it seems. Do you feel he really is bipolar? Do you think there is autism/aspergers? what is your gut saying? I assume he was on an IEP so his being suspended over and over is as you said, a game...son got out of school and school just got a break but did nothing to really help. Do you have an educational advocate? If school can't provide for him they have to come up with something. He can't be expelled from school, just a change of placement and it has to go thru the IEP process. please keep in touch, Buddy My son and several difficult child's here have had terrible responses to medications (that is why mine is inpatient right now. it is the third medication in his lifetime he has had an awful response to, huge rages) we would understand completely if he is not responding well to one or a combination of those medications. Or who knows, maybe he needs something different? All stuff you have been thinking of I am sure. so sorry you had to involve the police. Must be heartbreaking. What kind of placement are [I]you[/I] thinking should happen? I hear what you are saying about your daughter. You do have to care for her too. Do you have a county case manager for him or anything like that? Ok I'll stop, just throwing things out so if anything you say triggers ideas then we can chime in. You of course can just let us know how you are several times a day too. I have done that and it really just gets me through. [/QUOTE]
