    Peeking back in

    I can't believe it has been so long since I posted. Life did get busy! I see some familiar faces still here. I hope everyone is doing well. My update... Kanga is doing okay. She is enrolled in college and seems motivated to do the work. She did need to fail her first class this summer before...

    Another New Member

    Actually, I always thought it would be easier to have a child with cancer than one with violent mental illness. If my child had cancer, there would be fundraisers to help pay for her care; neighbors would volunteer to cook dinner or babysit; we'd have a choice of hospitals; we'd be surrounded...

    New Here - Son Hospitalized, Need Advice

    He needs a complete neuropsychologist evaluation to figure out what is wrong. While he may have some signs of Autism, he also has some clear signs of a mood disorder. The hospital should be able to do some testing, even if they can't do a full evaluation. It is too soon for the Depakote to be at...

    Do your kids do this?

    Did the doctor evaluate him for PANDAS? My oldest reacts to flavorings as well as dyes. Regular Skittles sets him off a little, but if he eats sour Skittles and I need two ex-NFL linesmen to help hold him down.

    I didn't think 35 could shock me anymore, but what horrible parenting!!

    Janet, did Cory actually file in court?? There needs to be a court case for there to be a judge. One thing I found interesting. In NC, visitation for grandparents can be written into the court-ordered custody agreement...

    She wants a job recommendation from me

    That is exactly what I said to her. "The only thing I know about your work history is that you have been fired from every job you have ever had. That's being fired 5 or 6 times in two years." Her response: "That's okay, I already told her that." I did a little reseasrch and this company...

    She wants a job recommendation from me

    Hopefully the woman won't call. I think this is just another example of the disconnect between reality and her delusions. Of course, staff will say she is making an effort toward employment. Ugh.

    She wants a job recommendation from me

    Kanga wants to be a door to door makeup salesman for a major distributor. She called and told me that she gave my number to the recruiter as a reference. I was stunned. The main thing I know about her job history is that she has been fired from every job she has ever had due to sexual...

    Developer Recreates Autisitic Experience in Video Game

    Tigger explained it once as being like that but said when he was younger, he didn't know how to block out any of it so all sensory input came at him at 100% (volume/brightness/smell/etc). Now "I know what stuff to block out so I can deal with it all better."

    More Planning, More Worries on Guardianship details

    I think you need to speak with an attorney in your state. It seems like most posters have posted about how guardianship works in their state. We are taking guardianship of Eeyore. In my state, I will not be responsible or liable for his actions. I cannot force him to do (or not do) anything. I...

    easy child is home for spring break

    Please do not look so far into the future! At your difficult child's age, I was so depressed that it was a miracle that I got out of bed at all. It took me a bit longer than my peers but I did eventually finish college and join the real world. Parenting difficult child's has taught me that, unlike pcs, the future has...

    I Discovered that Truth is Sadder than Fiction...

    Stories like this make me so grateful for our school district. Every parent can check the graduation status of their child online 24/7. I would definitely make an appointment to see her counselor and go over her transcript to ensure she will graduate if she passes her current classes.

    Wiz

    Kanga and Eeyore both had this same self-induced persecution complex. By challenging Eeyore every time , he was eventually able to see that it was not true. Kanga still believes that her siblings are the reason for all that is wrong in the world.

    difficult child Was Taken To The Hospital

    I support the suggestion to push for the admit to the psychiatric unit. Try and get testing done while he is there too. You need better data about what you are dealing with. Perhaps a medication change as well.

    She's back

    I was always right there when CARES/SASS came out. Nothing like mom hitting all the triggers to get them a better picture.
