difficult child has been inpatient since Thrs. night. We have repeatedly called the psychiatric assigned to him and have yet to speak to her. This is disturbing on so many levels. Then another dr. assigned to him to administer pysch testing calls us Sunday and tells us he will start the testing that day. He leaves my son with a 160 question form and tells him to finish it. WHERE do they put him to do the test??? In the middle of the common area where chaos is going on with all of the other kids, techs, groups, etc... THEN when he gets frustrated and refuses to do the test, they put him on restriction and he is not allowed to eat dinner with his family. My daughter is upset and crying as my husband and I left with-out seeing our son. What happens next? He throws a huge fit because he can't eat with us and we then are told he has behavior problems. ***??? Am I the only person in the world that knows an adhd kid with mood disorder can't have distractions when taking a test? And on top of it.... to punish him for his disability?
When we confronted (in a nice way) the dr about the testing environment, he told us we were enabling my son.
I'm just at my wits end. I want to see some competence. Some professionalism. SOMETHING that tells me there is someone out there that has their act together and can help my child.
