[QUOTE="BrainGoBoom, post: 406606, member: 11125"] Thank you all for such good advice. I'll definitely be asking the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) if a neuropsychologist evaluation can be done. After reading up on it and Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) yesterday, I pinged his school psychologist--she had been concerned about Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) also, and is most of the way through his IEP evaluation. Here is her answer: "From the intereactions that I've had thus far with Bug, what I've seen doesn't send up a 'red flag' for Autism to me. There are four areas of concern that are needed for a diagnosis of Autism: impairments in communication, impairments in social interactions, sensory concerns, and repetitive/stereotypic patterns of behavior and/or interests. I honestly haven't seen evidence of these things. In order to diagnose Autism, it's also necessary to rule out that the concerns are due primarily to an Emotional Disturbance. I think that we would have a very hard time doing that at this point." A question for fellow parents with a kid in Residential Treatment Center (RTC): How long did it take after you checked your kid in before you started feeling human again? All I want to do is curl up with a blanket, cup of tea, and knit. I don't want to talk to anyone. I don't want to think. At the end of yesterday, I thought: tomorrow I'll feel better. I'll be able to do laundry, strip his bed, start repairing broken stuff around the house. This morning: not so much. [/QUOTE]
