[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Alright. Not welcome. Got it. I feel the way I feel, and I’ve been trying to get help for myself and my kid for YEARS. It’s been round and round and round and no one has EVER until now thought that my child’s issues were anything other than shitty parenting. Guess they’re all right. I still hate autism - my kid definitely has it but diagnosis takes FOREVER once you have a direction, and I hate that my kid has it. Why? Because parenting him is HELL and always has been. Why? BECAUSE NO ONE BELIEVES HE HAS ISSUES. Because they all think it’s “inconsistent parenting” or “because Mom isn’t married” or “because mom sucks at parenting”. I’ve been trying to get someone to listen to me about this kid FOR YEARS. Since he was 2 or 3. But no, I was you g when I had him so I’m a terrible mom.

I’ll find support somewhere else. [/quote]

OP, if you are here.  Please call Kennedy Krieger today and get an appointment for a full psychological workup.  Then call Children's Hospital and make an appt for a full psychological workup.  YES, you are right, the appts will be set for MONTHS from now because of the long waitlists.  But at least getting an appt at BOTH places will help you.  And put yourself on the "if there is a cancellation please call me list".

And see if your son's psychologist also has names of independent psychs who can do a full psych workup for autism, ADD, ODD, ADHD and anxiety and call and get on THEIR appt waitlists.

Just doing this will help you feel (a teensy weensy bit) better.

And then be good to yourself, know that it's HARD - I truly know it.  A child's behavior can turn a household upside down!  [/quote]

Yes!  Make an appointment at Kennedy Krieger.  We got in very quickly as some people have cancelled appointments due to Covid worries.  They do tele appointments too.

Also, next time he gets taken to the ER for violence, can you have him admitted to a psych hospital for medication adjustment?  If he’s a threat to himself or others, he should qualify for admission.[/quote]
