[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 280258, member: 2423"] In about 3 weeks my son J will be in his first residential placement. It is not because he is a danger to himself or to others. He is completely shut down -- academically underachieving, socially withdrawn and therapy resistant. A neuropsychologist who recently did updated testing said J will develop an Avoidant Personality Disorder unless we intervene with intensive therapy. That kind of intensive therapy can only occur in a residential placement (plus we've exhausted all community resources in our area). In our case, I don't consider Residential Treatment Center (RTC) a copout in the slightest. It has clearly been the most agonizing decision my husband and I have ever had to make. But I consider it a gift, the gift of allowing our son to become fully functional in society. [/QUOTE]
