[QUOTE="helpangel, post: 261461, member: 7170"] Hmmm not sure what happened to my post from last night? No email from moderator telling me to tame it down a notch, who knows I'm new maybe I hit a wrong button somewhere along the line, could be I took 1/2 hour off mid-post to go to store to get ice cream (priorities! LOL). Anyway it was more a rant then actual information going into way too much detail of what I went thru for 9days last spring getting Angel admitted. I sometimes wish the crisis center would just tell me "lady we looked there isn't a bed open to put her in" instead of "its a tantrum take her home" (so tomorrow she can assault a police officer) when the child was clearly psychotic. (She was brought in by ambulance after assaulting 5 school staff.) Don't get me wrong she isn't always so aggresive; and when she is I'm in her face if she doesn't back it down we are going for an ambulance ride. She's in a sp ed school that is strictly for EI classified students, parents don't even find out this school exists until the "home" school is done (too many aggresive outbursts). She has done so well there that they are transitioning her back to her home school (currently 1 1/2 hours a day) and I'm glad she's going into a self contained cross categorical class instead of the EI class. She does so much better with staff who work with Autism rather then EI - the class she's going into has a couple of both kinds of kids along with a couple CI kids that don't fit in the CI class (good that's where Ms12 is and she gets enough aggresion at home) There is something to this diet thing that we are missing! The GI doctor said to avoid the girlfriend/CF diet for now because they often substitute corn or soy and we strongly suspect soy might be one of the problem foods. I totally don't get the thing with pop she can have sprite no problem, same for red pop but give her orange or blue and watch out it's like rocket fuel!
