[QUOTE="buddy, post: 497346, member: 12886"] Hi JKF... OH I so know that feeling of having the rug pulled out like that. WHen I first posted here, I joined because I could relate, but was not having one of those awful times and within a month, the roof caved in. I so agree with your plan to get a full evaluation. (by the way did you see my post that on amazon.com I got good used copy of the explosive child for under 3 bucks and even the new copies were cheap...I look for "good" condition books and have never had a problem. maybe a highlight on a page or so but nothing that has made the book yucky ever) Yes, there is definitely hope and I am really hopeful for you. You are open and searching and you listen to your son! THAT is huge. It sure seems like a complex problem crossing all domains and I can so relate to that. So what can we do??? It all seems like too much in the big picture. But if we go at it step by step and help every little possible thing that can contribute, that is in my humble opinion the way to go at it and to keep OUR sanity in the process. We are lucky that even without full evaluation of Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) since I knew he had Language processing disorder and we had our law/school advocate... I would jump on the opportunity that they may want to cooperate on an intervention and it is paying off so far. ONly a few days but I have not had to go get him and have not had a call from school in three days.. you know how crazy that is. I know I will get a call but three days is the longest in a month. I have hope. He also has had less itchy issues due to the right cream. I also went to the ortho to have his retainer that was bugging him adjusted. Just every little detail. It is exhausting but it makes such a huge difference. There are also of course those big issues as with his feelings.
