CG's blog: "My thoughts"

Living with a special needs son is challenging at best. But when he acts one way in public and another way in private, it makes it difficult for me to explain to people and professionals. My son will be 16 in a few days, but most time he acts like he is 3 or 4. I was told today that his IQ is more in the 30's to 40's not the 50's or higher I was thinking/ hoping. He doesnt eat, but would rather be tube fed, he is adhd as well. Medications work, but they reduce his appetite.

Today was a bad day. He was very aggressive towards me and the hospital staff. He was not feeling good which didnt help. The nurses and other staff are now seeing what I have been going through with him, and they are starting to do more with him to get him properly assessed. But it has been a long prossess and its still going to be going on for a long time.....

I am having a bad time as well, I am severly depressed and have sever anxiety and panic. I have no one to talk to her in rl. I have a hard time talking peroid. I am on meds and on welfare to help, but I am not getting the help from welfare as they say I can work. I can not work at all. With dealing with my son, daughter and myself, its hard to keep going.
