I procrastinated and the PO called me! :smile: She was very nice too! :wildone:
Anyway she got in touch with MH and they said that difficult child would quilify for one of their group homes. She said that they needed some info from me and then they would send an intake person over to prison to interview difficult child. She said there would probably be a wait list so she was not going to recommend parole at this time. She said her decision was partly because of that and partly because difficult child has 3 diciplinary actions this month alone. :hammer:
I asked her if I could have a new evaluation done on difficult child by an expert in autism spectrum disorders when he got out to see if he is AS. She said she didn't see any reason why not. She also said that she had concerns about the group home placement because it isn't secure and difficult child could walk away. She is afraid he wn't buy into it because he is going to be higher functioning than many there. I told her I was looking into other living situations specifically for AS and had sent out a couple of inquiries. I asked that if I find another better program for difficult child if she would go along with it. She said yes. After I hung up with PO I called MH and faxed them difficult child's last psychological. So I have another couple of months respice. I just hope difficult child is onboard and stays out of trouble long enough to get a qick placement. PO did warn me that the judge might go against her recommendations and release difficult child anyway but she was doubtful that will happen. -RM
