[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I want to be very clear when I say that Children's refuses to treat him.  They will not take a boy his age with his diagnosis.  I tried to get him into the NIMH study but they too wouldn't take him because of his age and diagnosis.  They said to call back after he turns seven which thankfully will be pretty soon.

My son is still in the PIW and I have no idea when he will be released.  It's difficult to get there everyday because the hours are very restricted, are during rush hour, and the PIW is an hour away without traffic.  DH and I were sure that at least one of us visited him each day and it was so sad to see that our child was the only one that had a visitor all weekend.  The staff there is good and our own psychiatrist volunteers there which gives me confidence that he will receive the care he needs.

We are taking it one day at a time but DH's family is making it difficult.  They think DS just needs a good beating or the super nanny and won't understand it's not a discipline problem.[/quote]
