lotty Report post Posted June 4, 2006 oh dear, sounds familier, one of mine is being assesed, everyone thinks hes fine, but i am exhausted, school says hes fine and family...they dont have to get up lots of times a night with him and battle with the food and the mutism and the refusal to do anything, and the destroying of things etc. i dont think he is AS like the eldest. but i know how you feel. i had the video camera on him secretly yesterday aswell. <'> Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PinkSapphireAngel Report post Posted June 5, 2006 I hope the assessment goes well hun, my Luke was self harming all the time and talking suicide and ended up being put on risperidone/risperidal by the specialist paediatrician. He is seeing a clinical psychologist this month for his anxiety as although the self harming has improved he still gets so stressed out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rainbow queen Report post Posted June 5, 2006 well we went. i could sit in the room and watch -and like clockwork he behaved very well for them,they was writing down loads of notes .... they wont discuss it till next appointment-at which point i started crying-told them i cant cope ect...... anyway i left cam corder with them to watch,-which shows the real son whom i live with day to day ......i cant do anymore than that ......so its in there hands........ the dr did say hed put my name down on yet another list to see another person-cant recall who-to help me manage him better and sort of therapy i guess,i asked about medication and they said no ...... but this is before they have seen the video...... at one point dr said said about me seeing gp.....to which i said well im already under pychatrist-on meds -and that my pychatrist is waiting to hear about outcome regarding my son -as hes the major factor in me feeling so depressed....... so wait for next instalment Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flora Report post Posted June 5, 2006 marie <'> What a long drawn out process it is, and so frustrating when they keep putting things off until the next appointment. The thing that annoys me is that in controlled conditions, like a quiet, calm consulting room, many children DO behave like little angels. Hopefully they will be aware of that but I'm sure your video footage will put them in the picture. How long do you have to wait until the next appointment??

Suze Report post Posted June 5, 2006 hi marie I was thinking about you today <'> ............my son did,nt display any bad type of behaviour during his camhs assessment......and remember thats not always what they are looking for.My sons theory of mind etc came up instead.Did they do any of this with him??............they won,t just take todays assessment to dx anything anyhow they,ll look at the bigger picture which includes your cam corder footage.Hang on in there .........take care suzex Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carrieq Report post Posted June 5, 2006 I dreaded our ADOS incase ds was good! Luckily?? he wasn't. We were told prior to ADOS that all other info gathered eg questionaires, reports and what we had said would be taken into account. Hopefully the 2 weeks will go by quickly!

BusyLizzie100 Report post Posted June 6, 2006 Rainbow Queen, I reckon Carrieq is right, and that they should look at ALL info available. What a great idea to take the camcorder in! Well done, you, for that flash of inspiration. Hope you get the answers you need. Hang on in there. The waiting in between appointments and then for the results can be hell, so go easy on yourself.
