[quote=Anonymous]Wow, OP, you have a charmed life. Both of my kids have SN though one of them "graduated" out of them with the help of years of therapies. Neither of them was flagged by their ped or anyone other than me noticing that things were a little off. One of them is autistic but didn't get diagnosed until age 7 because neither his dr, the public school system, nor the therapists we were seeing alerted us. I started reading up and saw that he and several male members of both sides of the family are classic HFA. He's doing great now, after TONS of intervention, but he will obviously always be autistic.

You must not be aware of the wait lists to get services. It can easily be 9-12 months to get a full diagnostic work up. Most OT's have waitlists as do most mental health professionals. Forget trying to get your suicidal kid an in-patient placement.

Enjoy your life and realize that people are just trying to help you, not line their pockets. Don't ever post on the SN board. We find refuge over there.[/quote]
