[QUOTE="PiscesMom, post: 708575, member: 19889"] Thanks for all your replies! That is what I would like, and it is true both candidates ran on health care for all, or so I thought. [COLOR=#0000ff]What? My son was in one for rougher types (90% were sex offenders, yikes) and they didn't lock them in rooms. And it was for - sigh - children with severe emotional problems. How awful. I wonder if they should be doing that, maybe it is for the best? I do worry that an out of home placement could be traumatizing, but it also could be great. I visited my son's place and it was very nice, just the wrong crowd of course. She did very very well in her two day inpatient placement. For her it seemed like a two day sleepover, she made friends, she loved it. I forgot - you're right, she totally has autism, and the anxiety alone might qualify her for SS and medicaid. I got so worried about the safety net being frayed; not to be political but some people just need help. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff] Up and Down, that option was not given to me, and she wouldn't learn social skills, but still, yes, it is the anxiety, and when she doesn't go to school she stays home and feels terrible. Your son doesn't like group projects? I always hated those, too, and I don't think I learned anything, just that I work better alone. I wonder if that is an option? I worry about her getting even more isolated. It was just my daughter's principal and teacher - this is a tiny school, just a few portable buildings - and they want to do a Mental Health Assessment, which was done, but this time they are contracting out, not using school psychs. And we go from there. More restrictive would be 1 - a Non Public School and her at home, 2 - Localized Residential but sent to a school, 3 - a Residential in her home state, 4 -or a Residential out of state. In our district, her school is the most restrictive they have. The teacher is going to call my daughter's psychiatrist as well, because psychiatric thinks my daughter is doing great. I like her a lot, but she didn't seem to be hearing me, maybe? Her medications are 60 mg Prozac, and 400 or 500 mg of Neurontin (Gabapentin). I don't know if she should have more medications. They said she is smart enough to go to college and then i teared up a little. I don't know if I need a lawyer, etc, at this point, cuz they seem pretty supportive, even ask me what I thought would be good for her. On the other hand, the squeaky wheel and all. She is a really sweet girl, and they say they love her being there at school, they just want to make sure it is the right placement and they are doing all they can. She has 25 credits earned and is currently failing everything. She is a sophomore. She is very interested in anime/manga, and really really is an amazing artist. [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
