[QUOTE="keista, post: 476220, member: 11965"] I'm guessing that's because his primary diagnosis is Aspergers. Kinda like my DD1 she never fit anything. There was certainly something there, but just never scored conclusively. in my opinion it's because these other things - what *looks* like axiety or ADHD are actually the symptoms of Asperger's. So, the problem now is that psychiatric hospital is not designed to treat Aspies. Since it sounds like your insurance person is being really great (such a blessing because treatment too often depends on what insurance offers us) Start asking her about different angles of treatment. For example, has he had full Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluations? Full sensory and motor skills? I myself was not aware of how sensory DD1 actually is. Since I've been told, and started making small changes, she's behaving much better. Next Monday she's going for a full evaluation, and hopefully I'll get accommodation recommendations for both school and home. Especially with an Aspies, it's easy to get caught up in micromanaging the bad behavior. Yes, it has to get addressed, but it's usually caused by something seemingly unrelated. Address the cause, the bad behavior is tempered or even *hold breath* goes away. [/QUOTE]
