Thanks Susie! We will definitely ask about sensory integration therapy. Yes, it's so important to remember that every kid is different! He is a beautiful kid and does have a lot of strengths!

Thanks everyone so much for your suggestions. I appreciate them so much! I really like the idea of the sensory diet and am definitely going to try this idea. He is currently receiving Occupational , Speech and Physical therapy which have helped in some areas but not with these behavioral issues...

Thanks for the reply and I truly appreciate the suggestion. I have thought about the Neuro psychiatric route and feel like we need to look into that. I would love to find an early intervention program for him but finding one that will accept him is turning out to be difficult. We are going through the...

Thanks for your reply Somewhere and I'm glad to get your input. I haven't ruled out autism myself. He has several habits that are very questionable. These could be sensory issues. One habit he has that we can't seem to get a handle on is that when he is drinking any liquid from his sippy cup he...

I have been a follower for many years and have posted a few times regarding my now 29 year old daughter. She, her husband and 2 small children currently live with me (long story) and I am needing some advice regarding my 3 year old grandson. He is very bright but has a few behavioral issues that...

P.S. in answer to the question about her ever being evaluated, she has never had a full evaluation. She currently receives services through our mental health coop but they aren't a lot of help. It has been a struggle in that regard.

Thanks so much for your kind responses and encouragement. They mean a lot to me. I just have to remind myself it's one day at a time. I did look into Nami at one time but I didn't follow through with it which I need to do. You are so right MWM in saying she doesn't really want to grow up. I have...

I don't post here very often but have been reading this site daily for years. This may be a little lengthy but I am just asking for some prayers and good thoughts for my difficult child who is now 26. Quick background, I adopted her through foster care as a single mom when she was age 11. Attachment was not...

Thanks busywend and yes, a restraining order is being filed tomorrow and will be served to him in jail. And, he will absolutely not be listed on the birth certificate. We are also going to be following what happens to him for a very long time.

I just wanted to send a quick update on the situation with my sister in law who will soon be my ex-sister in law. He is now in jail and will probably be spending a few years there. He was picked up Tuesday AM for possession of drugs and was found to be a fugitive from GA and is being held on a $250,000 bond. After...

Thanks so much Tiapet for that information. Fortunately her Dr. is very knowledgeable about this disorder and we are just very thankful he discovered it. He will be monitoring her very closely. Recovering, my biggest concern is that I will feel the pressure of continuing to take care of them. I...

Just wanted to send a quick update. I went with my daughter for an ultrasound yesterday and everything at this point looks good. Her due date is July 27. I've never been through a pregnancy myself so this will be amazing for me to go through this with her. sister in law chose not to go. I guess my earnest...

Sending prayers from TN!

I will be giving my notice around December 15. My lease will be up on February 1. It will be along 2 months but I do have places to go if I need to get away.

Thanks so much for the advice and the reassurance that I am doing the right thing by moving. It is time to put some sanity back in my life which I haven't had a lot of in 14 years. I love my daughter so much and I truly believe that she wouldn't be alive if she hadn't come in to my home, but she...

Thanks MWM for your response and I totally agree that I do not need and cannot afford to let this consume me. I am going to have to be careful about how I handle this but it will be handled. I will be turning in my notice to my complex soon. sister in law's brother came to visit for a couple of days last...

I will try to make this as short as possible. I am a long time member but don't post very often. This board has been a tremendous help to me over the years with my now 25 year old difficult child who was adopted at age 11. I am a single mom. She has been in and out of the house for the past 3 to 4 years...

Thanks so much for your responses. Things are so out of control and I feel like my job is going to be in jeapordy if I don't do something. I still haven't heard back from the doctor's office but I am planning on taking her to the ER tonight and not giving her an option. If she doesn't willingly...

I have posted here once before but it has been a little while. I am in urgent need of advice. My daughter (now 19) was diagnosed with Bipolar last fall and was put on Respirdal which did some good but caused a lot of weight gain. Her psychiatrist switched her to Abilify a little over a week ago. She has...
