Mental illness as an autistic child.

Rickboy said
Here we go. We went to Children’s Hospital today and checked in with the ER. After a few interviews it as determined that our son would benefit from the inpatient program and they had a bed available. It took all day and we didn’t get him to bed until 9:30 but he’s settled in. We’ll be heading back tomorrow evening to speak with one of the psychiatrists and discuss the treatment plan.

Frankly, it went A LOT smoother than expected. Leaves me with slightly higher hopes.

Had a relative who went to the Children's Hospital in DC after a suicide attempt and she stayed there I think 5 days and they were very good. But it was just the first step in a long process. Specialists, therapy and staying involved. Lots of ups and downs and challenges, but the process can be rewarding as tough as it can be at times. Hang in there man.
