VerifiedHello and thank you for consulting with JA,
I am so sorry you had to wait so long....but I would be glad to talk with you about this. First, please let me know, is he on any medications? Did he live at the special school in Perth?
I will watch for your reply and respond as quickly as I can.
In the meantime, this is an Australian radio broadcast that I would like you to listen to or read about making decisions regarding residential care (an option but a difficult one).

I feel better already! Thank you.
Thank you to the Physician who answered my question today. The answer was far more informative than what I got from the Physicians I saw in person for my problem.

You have been more help than you know. I seriously don't know what my sisters situation would be today if you had not gone above and beyond just answering my questions.
Tucson, AZ
I have been dealing with an extremely serious health crisis for over three years, and one your physicians asked me more questions, gave me more answers and encouragement than a dozen different doctors who have been treating me!!
