Guest guest Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 I HATE, LOATHE AND DESPISE IQ SCORES!!!!!!!!!! Having shouted that out, now hear this. Before your child is 18 MAKE SURE you have an IQ score. You need it for these reasons: to get SSI, to apply for Medicaide (if not already in the system), for medicaide waiver, to PROTECT YOUR CHILD from police!!! This last is MOST important. Your police department needs to know who your child is - especially if you have a son. And they need to know all his pertinent diagnosis - DS/ASD/ADHD/BiPOLAR/, etc. and IQ. They need to know how he reacts to commands, how he is likely to act if he is frightened, how to calm him down, and how to avoid hurting themssleves in interactions with him and how to protect him from THEM!!! Too many men with our kids type diagnoses are killed by police who think their behavior is threatening when it is just a response from their disability. Be proactive on this score. I don't want to read a headline about one of our kids. Sara - Choose to make lemonade, not complain about the lemons. _________________________________________________________________ Change is good.
