difficult child had a therapist appointment this afternoon. I discussed with her the multidis evaluation I have scheduled for June. We discussed his inablity to just "go with the flow" :grrr:. Out of all of the issues that difficult child deals with, this one is the most worrisome to me.
I used to worry about him socially but, he has a couple good friends and that's ok. He's not going to be an extremely social kid who fits in the group. He happily exists on the outskirts with a couple others and appears happy with his social life :rolleyes:. He has a friend or two over weekly and occasionally visits their home.
Most of the trouble he gets in is over his inablity to roll with it. He's not physical with others, he's cruel to himself. He's a self-sabatore. :hammer:
His therapist said that she is confident difficult child is not BiPolar (BP). She trully feels that difficult child's adhd comes along with some comorbid issues, one of the toughest is his mood deregulation. She's not calling it a mood disorder at this point, but says it is not uncommon in boys that carry high levels of frustration along with their adhd.
I will cc her on all his testing in June.
I then mentioned easy child's alopecia and she said anytime easy child felt the need to talk, she would be there for her. She also said we might want to plan ahead, just in case, and investigate the wig idea. She placed a call to her stylist right there while I was in the office and requested the name of a couple places to get a good wig. She said we might want to get her something funky first that she could wear from time to time. That way, people would get used to seeing her in a wig.
Then she asked me how bonehead and I were doing on our divorce. I told her we were at the point where I had returned his lawyer's document with my requests (note, not demands!!!!). She asked if I had a good lawyer. I told her I had a friend that was an attorney but.......she said "I have a couple I could refer you to that would make sure your interests were taken care of." Yeah, great, I'll take them. I'm getting full family service with her. I love going because I spend about 15 or 20 minutes out of difficult child's hour talking with her. It's like having my own therapist.
Just wanted to let you knwo what was going on and how great it is when "it works."
Hope the remainder of your wednesday is a good one.
