[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 740591, member: 1550"] Certain words trigger services. Autism. FetalAlcohol Spectrum. Drug exposed at birth. Bipolar can. Cognitively disabled and you can get this even with a normal IQ. She needs to have her functionality tested. You need to go to the right people. Aging and Disabilities is a huge help. If necessary get a disability advocate. Every state has them. Call Disability Rights. They cost nothing. If you trulycant get the OK take her to a neuro psychologist (a neurologist with extra training in the brain). It is comprehensive and SSI has to take the results into consideration. Even if adult eont soeak much, neuro psycholigists look at body language, eye movements, and other things that help diagnose. Refusing to talk in of itself is a symptom. You can do this Elsi, perhaps your child was not tested enough or for the right things. I am sorry you got no help. In particular, it sounds to me as if S. needs it. I am one of those moms who wont take no for an answer so I fought and looked for more help and it took a bit but I got results. Never give up! [/QUOTE]
