lucyjoy: thank you for your post. I went to my own counselor the other day. I hadn't gone for a long time, but she'd been assigned to help me after my husband died. He was shot by someone evidently trying to carjack his car...which was sitting in the parking lot only because he had a flat and was waiting for tow truck. The counselor helped me through those first months, but also told me that after my son and I readjusted to the needs of daily living, there would be other issues, and of course, as my post shows, those did indeed emerge. Like you, she said J's issues don't sound like RAD so much as perhaps something along the autism spectrum. I went to our Regional Center (CA's place for the assistance of persons on the autism spectrum) but J's age is past that of their mandate. However, other postings on this site have offered other lines of research, as did my counselor and our atty, who wrote our original trust, and has helped me revise it recently as I face J's situation more clearly. Posts by you and others are a great source of encouragement to me. A hug to you as well!
