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...

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, 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...

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...

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...

So I finally graduated school to be a certified medical assistant. I Got straight A's, honor roll, perfect attendance, and managed to land a job at the best place in town, the job I'd have picked if i had my choice. Which I guess I kind of must have since it was the second job i applied for...

Here goes again time to dust off the old armor it appears. School started here on August 20th. I started a new job (first time I've worked for about 6 years although I was in school 4 hours a day for over a year) on August 30th. difficult child 2 did ok during the summer, we had very few problems with...

It's been a while folks, I'm kind of sad to be back :( But I needed somewhere to vent, and you guys are always great when I'm at my wits end. Quick update: My divorce was final a couple of years ago. We've moved away from the house we shared with the kids' father, same town. The kids don't...

GFG2s school keeps putting him in ISS to do his schoolwork when he doesnt do it in class. If he gets an attitude or refuses, they send him home, not an official suspension, so it doesnt go through the school district etc. This has happened a few times this year, they don't either one show up on...

Hardly know where to start. psychiatrist apparently finally saw the whole big picture today! History: Abusive Biodad and difficult child 1. difficult child 2 was diagnosis'ed BiPolar (BP) at age 9 (not 'official on paper'but treatment for it anyway) due to behaviors and mood swings, also put on IEP for emotional lability and dysgraphia. Put...

So, With IEP meetings coming up for difficult child 1 and difficult child 2, I need to come up with suggestions for supports and strategies in school. difficult child 1 has Dysgraphia and HATES to write, also just really cant get his brain to come up with anything to write really, couldnt write a page to save his butt. Right now...

I made a thread in Special Education forum about my difficult child 2's IEP and teacher issues, and i guess this sort of ties in, but basically: How on earth do you get a kid who hates doing something (writing in this case) do just do it anyway? Wont do it at home or at school or anywhere else. Teacher is having...

Ok so here's what's going on. difficult child 2 is in 6th grade now, in middle school. Next year he will be in JR high from 7th till 9th. He's been in self contained classroom since 4th grade. The first quarter this year he had a brand new sped teacher...fresh out of school herself. First class she's taught...

I'm not terribly surprised to be posting this one. my 7 yr old has always been a wild independent one. Fixing his own microwaved eggs at 2, trying to walk to the store to buy candy at 6 am alone at 3, pretty much convinced he can do whatever cause he's just that smart lol. He's always been a...

difficult child 3's principal told me that they didnt implement his IEP because he saw no proof that difficult child 3 has bipolar disorder or adhd or that he;s been on medications for it. Do i have to give them proof of that? I mean it's in his previous IEP's that he was on medications for bipolar and ADHD, there's the connors...

OK i'm going to have to make the new school redo difficult child 3's IEP...he'll be in the sped room for math, reading, writing and science. 4th grade. I'm not sure how many kids and teachers are in the class yet, and he'll be with the regular ed class the rest of the time. So far the main complaints have...
