It's one thing for an Autistic child to have melt downs, but an adult is a whole different ballgame!
Jessica has issues of the aggressive, angry side so her meltdown are not pretty. For a while, she is in a mood that everything was wonderful and happy and much like an old Disney movie. While her sister, who started to pray to Archangel Michael to help her sister was thrilled when Jessica was in this giddy-happy period.
Her father and I...not so much.
For we knew with the sweet, comes the sour. And the sour usually ends in serious swearing, screaming and not so occasional knocking hole is doors. I think the salesman at Lowes, who now knows us on a first name basis, keeps basic core doors in stock.
I don't know if anyone else with Autistic adult female children go through this, but Jessica's meltdowns usually hit either a week before or on her menstrual period. When she turned 13, is when the fun began and it hasn't stopped since. Eight years. Eight years of this suffering through threats, fits and numerous other events.
Only recently were we able to afford medical insurance and now her Medicare has finally kicked in. NOW I'm having a hard time attempting to get her OFF the medical insurance through ObamaCare. Not that I'm not grateful but I only need one guys. She gets Medicare because she is termed fully disable so why pay for two. I really didn't think when the ObamaCare rep told me that when she got her Medicare to just call and we'll take her off of it immediately, that they were lying.
I've called, and called AND CALLED. After the initial registration, what did they do, leave the country??
Sooo, I have a kid that desperately needs medical assessments for her condition and an insurance company who won't answer the phone or emails? Com'On!
So we wait as June draws closer (the month that the Medicare kicks in), the meltdowns continue and no appointments at all.They say that good things come to those who wait. If that is true, then what I'm waiting for will be a doozy.
