[quote=Anonymous]The Arc is for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. That may not be a good fit for OP. OP, I am sorry you are going through this. If you are in DC, I found CHAMPS to be of some assistance. They cannot restrain or do much beyond calling 911, but I found that having them there to talk with the kid gave me a little bit of space to get my pets to a safe place, make critical phone calls, and calm down a bit without needing to physically manage behavior or worry that my house would be flooded/burned down while my back was turned. They accompanied me to Children's and I think their report was useful in getting DC admitted. The admission itself wasn't terribly helpful (basically if your kid can get through a day without needing an injection of haldol and a trip to the seclusion room, he's going to be sent home) but it did give us a break to recover a bit and know DC was safe while we tried to put other supports into place.[/quote]
