[QUOTE="buddy, post: 500679, member: 12886"] Wow, really a lot to think about but you know, there is a different tone to your post. Not as ... I dont know, maybe it seems more put together a little bit more settled into the steps you are working on??? Are you feeling that way? I think it is wonderful the therapist seems to understand some and sounds like she listened to you about what might have sounded good but was really the same old story that got responses elsewhere??? If so that is a great sign I think. I would not ever expect her to thank you or show remorse. If it happens great but at this point you have had so much confirmation that this is how she is wired, she clearly has brain injury issues too... Poor thing, but no matter the cause, just like with my son, we have to make decisions that will limit their freedom. My son will need constant supervision for his life I am sure of it. But we can advocate for them to be in the least restrictive but still safe place I guess... once they are stable and fully grown. I sure hope insurance approves her further stay. I dont know about the conservatorship etc. Will be interesting to hear what you find out. Have you looked at the NAMI website? is there any information on there? Has she been on any of those medications before. Sounds like you knew of the seizures before? I was told that the stims since the activate the brain in some ways can lower the seizure threshold. For my son the lithium did too. So his seizure medications had to go up. He also has limbic issues... for him the hippocampus is very small and underdeveloped. I have heard that reasearch shows this is at a higher percentage in people with autism and Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) both. Makes sense that their emotions are affected then. For mine it results in massive sudden emotional shifts when extra electrical activity shoots thru, starting on the right and going to the left temporal lobes. Sometimes it is not a full seizure but the extra spikes happen frequently... all day and night. He also has frontal lobe issues...from his brain mass, bleeds and surgery. Such a bummer. I hope that their finding out some of the organic stuff will help at least put her in a place where she can stop, think, control impulses etc... With a lot of cognitive structure maybe she can move to a place where she can be productive and happy even if she needs close watching. I pray that for her and for you. [/QUOTE]
