[QUOTE="buddy, post: 474377, member: 12886"] I would not consider military school when he is unstable. I do know an adult Aspie who is a gifted guy and once his life was stable and he understood his issues and triggers etc. he joined the military and is doing well. But he made the choice and was stable. Problem is they will not have any accomodations that he needs, will only be looked at as a behavior disorder, they are under no obligation to provide sensory accomodations, visual teaching methods etc. He really needs a therpeutic kind of situaiton for kids with autism. You got a dud doctor who told you to go home. Someone who is clueless for sure. Love that you are applying for that. Again, have you ever called CPS yourself, voluntarily??? People here have said that can work. There are residential programs and therpeutic foster homes. Maybe you need to look at voluntary foster care? I wish like when TeDo's difficult child and my difficult child were first going in, we could all sit and problem solve in person. Luckily we at least have this! It just helps to connect, for me anyway. You feel weak and depressed, but you are still strong. Look at you! There are people who would not even still be able to try to t hink of options and would have taken him home to the computer. (I admit I have had days I have let difficult child watch nascar and other races all day if I needed a mental health break. Not a daily thing but for an afternoon once a week, I'm ok with that---there are lots of guys who watch football and otehr sports for long times so I figure it can be a "normal" thing if only once in a while!) Anyway, you knew that wasn't the answer and you fought it and problem solved. Our neuro just called dept of ed. and several places for us because she is so upset about our school admin. Do you have anyone who can do that to support you? I wish hubby would support you more but maybe at this point he would just make things harder since you said he is like another kiddo. [/QUOTE]
