I have lost my cool several times over. Not totally, just enough to get extremely vocal, verbally fluent and very, very determined to get action.
Each time, I rang Dept of Health. I suspect if I ever set foot back in that private hospital clinic I'd be lynched...
I had a long talk at church this morning with our friend who was diagnosed Aspie at age 60. He's got a possible contact for us, a really good shrink not too far away, only about an hour. Another friend at church was telling us (over lunch) about a course she is doing which seems to combine cognitive behaviour therapy with something else (wish I could remember). It's a course for teachers to then take these skills back into the classroom and teach the kids how to cope with anxiety and depression. I wish I could send the kids, but it's not a therapy group, it's designed to teach others how to administer it.
