[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 564658, member: 11791"] Well... No experience with Residential Treatment Center (RTC), lots of experience with an out-of-control pre/early-teen. Loved your definition of ODD, by the way... really matches how lots of us feel around here. What kinds of evaluations has your difficult child had? Who gave the current dxes? Who prescribes the medications? You see, even ADHD is a tricky diagnosis. MOST kids who get that label are either... 1) ADHD plus a whole list of other stuff, OR 2) something else entirely (not uncommon to end up with Aspie diagnosis, or other things, instead of ADHD) And none of that should be a surprise, because ADHD traits are part of the definition for Aspie, as are many of these other dxes that can go along with ADHD. Having a whole string of dxes, though, doesn't make one an Aspie. (confusing, I know.) Some examples of things that often go with ADHD (and/or are part of Aspie), and often get missed: 1) Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) - developmental coordination disorder 2) Sensory Integration Disorder (SID)/sensory processing disorder (SPD) - sensory integration disorder sometimes called sensory processing disorder 3) Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) - auditory processing disorders 4) NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) - non-verbal learning disorders 5) other LDs - you listed dyslexia, there's also dysgraphia, dyscalcula, and others. On top of those... secondary MH issues come into play, especially depression and/or anxiety... from NOT getting the right dxes, and/or not getting the right accommodations, interventions and/or medications. If he's got these kinds of issues? Residential Treatment Center (RTC) is probably a bad idea. Not that there are any easy solutions, though. [/QUOTE]
