[QUOTE="SRL, post: 192870, member: 701"] Hi Seansmama, Good for you for wanting to make a better life for your son. I grew up with some abuse in my background and I applaud you for this decision. I think the best source for help for you would be your closest women's shelter. They deal with women who are in a variety of bad situations--not just physical abuse. We recently intervened and hooked a family member up with one in her state and they were able to provide housing, a job, and various other supports until she was on her feet.

It looks as if there is a period spent observing and ruling out other disorders and I'm not sure how long that lasts. I do know with other neurological issues (such as Autism) it can sometimes take as long as 6 months to get the appointments set up and through the entire evaluation process.
