[QUOTE="Fran, post: 210895, member: 3"] Sounds like things are going well at your home. We try to explain to our difficult child that he must learn to advocate for himself with his health care providers. If difficult child has difficulty understanding the Dr. he should ask her/him to slow down and repeat EACH and EVERY time he is unclear of what she is saying. It's important for him to get the benefit of his visit and it's his job to make sure he gets his money's worth. Of course, this is a learning process for all teens and young adults. How to express frustration and embarassment without all the emotional drama. Hopefully the medications will help and the counselor will be a great safety net for difficult child. [/QUOTE]
