[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 211635, member: 3907"] Hello Cathy and welcome! Like MWM, I highly recommend a neuropsychologist evaluation for your ds. (Not the neurologist or the psychologist, but the NeuroPsychologist). The intensive testing can help you to pin down exactly what's going on with your ds, which will let you put the right interventions in place for him. Like yours, my difficult child has a complex diagnosis (bipolar, Aspergers, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), and a few other initials...). We've been the round of psychiatrists, tdocs, SWs, EAs and other specialists for years and years, and finally got a clear diagnosis within the last year. Residential Treatment Center (RTC)/Assisted Living doesn't necessarily doom your ds to a life of horrible apartments and SSI cheques. My difficult child's only true progress has been made since we put him in permanent Residential Treatment Center (RTC)/Assisted Living last year. It has made a world of difference for him, and for the first time I can see enough development in him that he has a chance at living a productive life. If your current psychiatrist won't diagnose, it may be time to go for that second opinion. If you're anywhere near a University hospital or teaching hospital, you might try them for a referral to a neuropsychologist. Glad you found us. This really is a soft place to land, a sanity saver and a safe place. Trinity [/QUOTE]
