[QUOTE="buddy, post: 496437, member: 12886"] Oh I am so sorry to hear that. I am also sorry they said she didn't qualify... remember, if you request the assessment, they still have to do it, medications or not... the medications may help but may just put her in a place to be able to handle things better like...interventions. And eventually medications always need to be adjusted and what do you do without an ed. program??? Just something to think about. I hear you about the obsessive part for the food... that is what has happened with us too. But it seems to wax and wane... he has times when he just can't stop... but he is willing to eat healthy foods too so I am lucky there and it seems to stop the obsessions when he does have any food in him...even carrots. but it actually makes it so he can't do any work. We did do a trial of risperdone when Q was very young...like 4 or 5. It made him very very aggressive and out of control. Took four adults to hold him down in a private autism program. they had him in a bean bag chair with sensory tools and really trying to help him but he was out of his mind. It was the ONLY time in his life that when he saw me and finally was calming down... he grabbed on to me and allowed me to just rock him and calm down. It was heart breaking. I now know it is on the list of medications his body can't process but wow, that was terrible. medications work great at times and thank heaven for that... but sometimes really terrible things happen. I am just so sorry about your relationship. It is good you can see a positive to it but it must be very difficult Is he taking her for any time? Let us know if you need to vent or just talk.... Lots of us here doing it as a single and several (not me) here have gone through break ups. Glad you are back... hope you check in often. You are fighting the good fight here! Your daughter is very lucky. [/QUOTE]
