[QUOTE="overwhelmed since76, post: 635973, member: 18290"] Yes, the two youngest ones got early intervention. My Oldest grandson did not. They are all high functioning but the olsest one has really bad anger management issues. My son is divorced from their bi-polar mom. They co-parent. easy child feels it us too much back and forth for them as they need consistent structure. Ge is currently in a court battle becsuse he wants primary custody. He is a great father and the boys are very clise to him. On the flip side, they throw temper tantrums when it is time to go to their mom's. Now back to difficult child...I am constantly on the phone lining up services for him....all of which he seems not interested in. Doctor's attribute his intellectual disability to a congenital heart defect he was born with and had surgery for at age 4. Low oxygen levels in his blood possibly caused mild brain damage. He did talk late and walked late. I'm honestly thinking the only way he is going to accept the help he needs is when he becomes homeless. His case manager has given me the phone numbers for him to call when/if that happens. Local shelter and mh/mr. He said they will help him find a place to live. I'm convinced that this is going to be the only way he will get help. Right now all he thinks about is this girlfriend of his. I'm sure she will be gone when she gets out of prison. And yes, his IQ is truly 65. I have his evaluation beside me. When he was tested in school, it was 68. About 6 years ago, when applying for services at MH/MR, they requested another evaluation. This one showed 65. And the notes on the report state declining cognitive skills. (Most likely due to alcohol abuse). [/QUOTE]
