Guest guest Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Hi Jen, Welcome to the group. I am sure that you will find a lot of support here. Yvette A. I just got accepted so figured I should post an intro of sorts. My name is Jen and my 15 yr old daughter Kim was recently diagnosed PDD- NOS after an 18 day hospital stay for depression. I've always suspected there was something. When she was a crawler she would bang her head on the floor or wall until stopped. She couldn't wear anything denim until recently, she would say it hurt her. Any socks and pants had to be inside out so the seams didn't touch her, she said they hurt. .. Things like that. I would take her to the pediatrician, every time told its normal she will outgrow it. She has little concept of hot and cold, if allowed her baths would be hot enough to scald her, she thinks nothing of going in the snow barefoot. Until last night she has been living with her dad and his girlfriend, so this is all really new to me. I'm in hte process of getting her enrolled in school, they pulled her out instead of learning to deal with the issues. Insurance is another issue, she has great insurance, except when it comes to mental health, it covers nothing. So, there we are in a nutshell.
