[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 657637, member: 11791"] Who gave these diagnoses, and when? We got nothing but run-arounds and put-offs until our son qualified for adult services. At that point... we started getting REAL diagnoses, serious medications adjustments, and all sorts of help. Exactly what he had needed at least 8 years sooner. The conditions you list are often "marker" symptoms of another diagnosis altogether. You're between a rock and a hard place because of his age. If HE wants help, there will be better help available. But you can't force him to get help. (here, we can't even force them to get help once they turn 12). So maybe you need to put HIM between a rock and hard place... either be a willing and active participant in getting real help, OR ... do it your way but not living at home. He will likely choose the latter option at least at first. But we can't control their choices. [/QUOTE]
