Guest guest Posted March 14, 2003 Report Share Posted March 14, 2003 Both my girls were in a study at the UW. This was a few yrs back now, and it was a genetic study involving families with autism.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 That is absolutely great news, Beth! Yay, Kate! :-) It's so great to see someone moving in the right direction. Yep, there is a good possibility there will be a " when " . But, you now have the tools and " know how " , so you are armed and ready, so to speak. And the doc will be there when and if you need him again. Great news! Thanks for sharing. BJ > > The psychologist discharged Kate today! She is just doing splendidly! > > My husband and I are getting better at spotting the OCD (hers is mostly thoughts and exaggerated/irrational fears) and we can usually convince her that it's OCD in action. Sometimes that takes time and a few " bad spells " before she'll admit it -- but, once she recognizes it as OCD she is really good about doing what is necessary to put the thoughts at bay. > > The psychologist says we don't need him right now but to call him when (not if!) we suspect that the OCD is getting a foothold again. He said it could be a month or a year or even longer but he strongly suspects he hasn't seen the last of Kate. > > This is good for our pocketbook, too. Turns out the insurance will cover " Child Psycology " visits but NOT " Family " visits. This is just nuts! We are Kate's parents and WE are the ones who are her day-to-day coaches in this battle. By removing the parents from therapy the insurance company is eliminating the biggest weapon (at least in our case!). The psych says he can't legally call it a child psych visit if we're in the room . . . unfortunately all but one of our visits was a " family " visit. > > Beth > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
