[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 566452"] My son's therapist has told me this in the past. He has not used that exact word, but he's been telling me this for years. It's so hard to definitively diagnose his with any one thing because he seems to fit into so many boxes that the therapist isn't quite sure what to do with him sometimes. Simply telling you that you child is very sick is not helpful, unless they give you some very specific direction as to where you are supposed to go from here. Saying he's unique does not help you help him. I agree with you that alot of times these kids fall through the cracks. If they do not demonstrate a risk of harming themselves or others we are very often left to our own devices. A friend of mine who is the parent of a difficult child found some very disturbing things in her son's room yesterday and she called several in patient facilities, but they said they can't help her unless he verbalizes a specific threat. Her question was what happens if he never verbalizes anything, but then does something harmful to someone? Why will no one help her prevent something like that from happening? They wished her well and told her to call her psychiatrist and say it was an emergency. She did that. Twice. He never called her back. [/QUOTE]
