[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 594371, member: 14557"] I wanted to bring up this old thread, because something I find kind of amusing. This was about the letter difficult child's psychiatrist wrote for him to apply funding for therapy. Now she had written him another letter for different purpose and difference are rather striking. She really seems to know how to write for occasion. This second letter is to give brief description of difficult child's mental health situation, services he needs and his ability to work. difficult child is in process of transferring teams and one interested team had asked if he would be interested to give their medical staff some medical info to evaluate and give a recommendation if he would be fit enough for them to continue pursuing (in other words, they don't want to make a deal, have to publish it and then maybe nix it after physicals.) difficult child and his agent decided it is in his interest to give reports asked, even if it of course only depends of that team's doctor's moral if the reports stay confidential as promised. So they gave some x-rays and MRIs this team asked and this psychiatrist assessment also asked (small world and very effective rumour mill make sure very little stays secret, the least something so juicy as my son's troubles.) So certainly written for very different use than that earlier letter and you wouldn't know they talk about the same guy. Though again facts and diagnosis stay same, so do treatment need assessment. This one is also much less descriptive on the actual problems difficult child has. Just listing of him having PTSD due bullying and other related trauma, having dissociative symptoms caused by that and anxiety needing treatment, need for this specific type of therapy and currently needing medication he is having. Needing help with social skills and having some mild executive functioning issues, that are well accommodated currently. Mentioning the past addiction issues and going through and graduating treatment for that and that issue being currently well under control. Other than that it is mostly about progress difficult child is making, his ability to compensate and strengths he does have. Her assessment is basically that in current situation difficult child's ability to work is not compromised as long as he gets services he needs. I have to say that I have much easier time seeing the boy described in this second letter in my son. [/QUOTE]
