    Back after a While...18 Yr Old Son Admitted to psychiatric Ward Last Night

    Hi all, My son is 18 now. I am the same Otto Von Bismark who posted that my son was a pedophile a few years back (like there are a lot of Otto Von Bismarks running around this community). We have had no end of struggles, as most of you have also experienced. His conduct disorder has been...

    My Son is a Pedophile....

    Yep, I started a thread about this in 2012. We have cruised along more or less, thinking we had helped him by controlling his access to the internet, but we recently found a stolen iPod touch with internet in his room and lots of illegal child porn images. VERY DISTURBING. Trying to figure out...

    I guess I am that person who only shows up when I need something. Emergency again.

    Sorry I haven't been around to be a help to people when they were down and we were up. There's a reason, though. One kid went off to college, I started grad school, and my son wasn't a disaster for a short time, so we were actually able to breathe and relax for a while. I also don't have much to...

    Anyone Want to Talk About Intuniv?

    For us.....it could actually be working. My difficult child son has had 13 our of 14 really good days in a row, at home and at school. We are keeping a reward chart split into 4 1-week sections. At the end of each week, he gets to choose a couple of cool rewards (Jamba juice, a visit to H&H Gregg...

    Why do I have swings in levels of hope for my son? Is this the fate of CD parents?

    My son has CD. He has history of killing animals, lying, pretending to "not know" in order to get out of trouble or explain away rules he is breaking. He also has deviant sexual history. He is only 13. He also is on autism spectrum, so some have said that autism is getting in the way of him...

    Got testing results for oldest daughter. Would appreciate input if you have time : )

    Hi, I have been away from forum for a few weeks due to surgery. Glad to be back. This is kind of a two-part post. A while back I posted on my son's testing results and you wise folks brought up a few questions, which were echoed by a developmental pediatrician. Here is...

    Got testing results and diagnoses. Hold your hats.

    We finally got test results for my son -- the meeting with psychologist to go over results was almost surreal..... he started on one thing, then moved to another issue, and it all went from bad news to worse and worse. I know the guy felt horrible telling us. First...his IQ is in the 70-75...

    How Do We Get Services?

    I wrote last month about my son who was hospitalized. We are now trying, on our own, to get services. I keep reading about agencies, and "wrap-around" things, and such, but I can't quite seem to get connected. So far we have: called pediatrician to get referral to neurologist for brain...

    13 year old in psychiatric ward for first time

    Hi all, I have been a lurker for a little while, but now it is time to come out of the shadows, I guess, as we could really use some help. I am putting background in black, and questions in red, so skimmers can get right to the point. I think this will be a long post. He is 13 years old, 7th...
