So my 19 yr old has been an extremely picky eater since he started solid foods as an infant. He has never eaten vegetables of any kind, or potatoes of any kind. He finally tried french fries when he was 14...but they must be perfectly done and not seasoned at all. He pretty much only eats meats...

Hey there. Like you, I just told my oldest son that he has 30 days to move out. I'm recently remarried, and this son in particular does whatever he feels like pretty much. We had a rental agreement (which he didn't live up to) and he has consistenly bailed on every family event for the last 6...

The hardest to deal with child in my household was able to go to a special needs camp for the week. I feel terribly guilty for this, but OMG it's soooo peaceful and less stressful, for all of us. It makes me realize how much of a drain he is on all involved. The bitterness and animosity from the...

Well, the local person that helps with the paperwork to apply for the ICG grant managed to get the Sped coordinator at the high school to set up a meeting to discuss GFG2s needs in school. The previous school had an IEP meeting last september, before all of the testing and new diagnosis. They had him...

Well, I've been doing the IEP routine since my 19 yr old was 5 so I pretty much know the drill on regular supports. The last few years however this school district has been in a force mainstream routine. They flat out disagree with parents on what the kid needs, always teaming up to say what the...

nobody has any ideas?

Well, my son officially has schizoaffective disorder and is spiraling quite quickly. Going to try going up on his atypical antipsychotic and see if that helps. Also he's been approved for SSDI, first time through, without his regular psychiatrist's report even. how often does THAT happen...

I haven't tried an advocate, I'm not even sure where to find one. I know the diagnosis ere is rare enough that our one pediatrician neuropsychologist and the most esperienced psychiatrist here had to do some digging to figure out what all his stuff meant...and apparently it's the first the pediatrician neuropsychologist has...

Thanks MWM. Unfortunately there are no other schooling options here. The only exception is a school for behavioral problem kids that have for instance been expelled from regular schools for violence or drug use etc. The only other possible option besides home schooling (I could NOT do that...

So GFG14 was given a diagnosis of schizophrenia spectrum and psychotic disorder with bipolar 2 by a pediatric neuropsychologist. his psychiatrist finally came back with schizoaffective disorder with mood lability and psychosis. A functioning score of 50. As for the type they didn't specify but he...

My gfg14 was suspended (one of MANY times this last couple of years). He had been sent to the dean's office for not doing his work. The dean left the room for a minute after reading him the riot act. difficult child had asked if he could have a piece of candy out of the candy jar on his desk, was told no...

Sorry to hear someone doesn't agree with something you said. But there's an old saying: you can please some of the people all of the time, all of the people some of the time, but you can't please all the people all the time. Disagreements are going to happen. Sometimes people get offended...

He's my bio son. No problems with pregnancy or birth. No drugs or alcohol. He was the perfect child till he was about 2 1/2...and he's my 4th kid so I have a pretty good comparison there i think lol. He's been seeing the same psychiatrist for a few years now, but the guy only sees him for about...

See the thing is that he's had huge issues from the time he was 2-3 when there was a lot of traumatic stuff happen in his life. At first it was chalked up to environment, moving, terrible two's, preschool, then ADHD...but ADHD medications sent him manic, so he started seroquel. His oddness still...

As part of the ICG grant were applying for his psychiatrist must agree with the diagnosis. The neuropsychologist is already sending there report and supporting evidence to him, and he has an appointment with the psychiatrist on the 5th. This kid is perfectly smart enough to look up erosivity what...

He does hear things, yes. He also has very strange ideas and thought patterns that have no base in reality, and when you try to talk with him it leaves you wondering what ballfield he is in, cause he's not even out in left field, he's in a whole different park. Sadly the diagnosis really does...

Well, This is the first time I've hit up this board. Until recently my over 18 one was pretty much a easy child. my next oldest wasn't 18 yet. How things change lol. My 20 yr old used to be a great kid. He still mostly is, just basically driving us crazy. He's in his last semester of college (2 class...

Ok, just got this diagnosis for my 14 yr old, any suggestions on what I tell the school? what to put in the IEP? Havent got the detailed report yet, just a brief overview of what they found. So far this year he's done well, but last year was a disaster, and I have no doubt at some point he'll derail...

After so many problems with this kid....we Finally got a neuropsychologist evaluation done. They also did a speech and Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation. The results were a bit unexpected. We were thinking possibly Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), maybe ASPD. Apparently between his CBT therapist, the pediatrician. neuropsychologist, and the Occupational Therapist (OT) and speech folks, they...

Thanks for the great responses folks. I need to ask the school to do an Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation. Got it. Auditory Processing Disorders (APD), had to look that acronym up. difficult child 2 has had a psychiatric evaluation done, about a year ago. Turned out he is very slow to process things. like at the 5th percentile. his nonverbal language was also pretty low...
