[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 485103, member: 3419"] [COLOR=black][SIZE=4]Sigh. He doesn't think it will "stick" after difficult child gets out, especially if I only send him for 1 yr. He also said that between the two programs I narrowed it down to, difficult child's depression is secondary to the Asperger's. (by the way, he said it took him a long time to get on board with, since difficult child is so high functioning. I said I know. Some time ago, I insisted that's what difficult child had, and Dr. R disagreed, and I burst into tears. It was a bad week and I had just had it. So now, after yrs of seeing difficult child's rigid thinking, now that difficult child is fully verbal--or maybe more self aware and able to explain his thoughts, or lack thereof, he "gets it.") He suggested alternatives to the expensive ($81,000) places I'd come up with, such as therapeutic foster care and residential treatment. He gave me two names. I'll look it up but most residential stays I find online are for drug users. Hopefully, the local places are more generalized. Sigh. Lots of sighing going on ...[/SIZE][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
