[QUOTE="geekparent, post: 377215, member: 9109"] I do understand that she's not choosing to react this way, but I'm the one that gets the emails and telephone calls at work. I'm the one who has to talk to the teacher and the school psychiatric and the principal. I'm the one missing work, getting pulled away from my desk, and it gets very frustrating. I worry about my job, especially in this economy. I have a pretty understanding boss and HR folk, but the nature of my job requires me to be at my seat and present. If I'm on the phone with the school or worse - I have to pick her up from school and take the afternoon off (unpaid! I'm all out leave time!) then that looks back. So it stresses me to no end. This was something else that her therapist suggested. She just didn't provide any suggestions or guidelines beyond "meat, fruits, vegetables." Not a big help, especially where things like breakfast and lunch are concerned. difficult child is not a big deli meat fan. She got tired of eating nuts after three days of giving her those as extra protein snacks. And husband is happy (it's easier) for him to give her yogurt or waffles or cereal in the morning. (Though I'm about to toss out all the cereal and start fresh!) I'll definitely check out the zone cookbooks. I can't get a neuropsychologist around here. We have three good places here, two great children's hospitals and one great clinic (The Cleveland Clinic) but none of the neuropsychs will see her without a referral from her psychiatrist and/or pediatrician. Also, my insurance won't pay for it without a pre-cert and referral. I spend out of pocket for her psychiatrist, and that alone is a real healthy chunk of change. I'll look into this too. I think we might have some available that I can get under my health care and insurance. Also going to see about getting the books on my ebook reader on my smartphone. [/QUOTE]
