Jump in anywhere. These threads are ongoing discussions.

There are non addicting sleep aids. Any reason they might not 'want' you to sleep? Being well rested might interfere with you 'working your program'. Isn't the point to put the kids under as much stress as possible (bait) so they 'react' and then can be punished?

Now that you're out, do you still consider yourself ADD and take meds?

ODD is the standard dx to get most in the door. Zyberkant and/or Witherspoon dx'd my son on the spot- they claimed "based on his father's complaints". No prior dx or eval.

What happened to those too anyway? Anyone know? And M. Burns? What happened to her?"

Yeah i did think about that and i could be true but i dont want to make accusations that i cant back up 100%.
And yes i still have ADHD and im still on adderall, which actually does help me a great deal, and thats probably the one good thing i got out of that place.


And wow i wonder why Arnold got fired, i dont remmeber liking him to much but did at least seem very professional and well mannered unlike Mr. Witherspoon.

Lacey:
Wow, Arnold and Mike are gone? And Bill Gray, and now Clarke Poole? It seems that most of the higher-ups from my time are gone... That is strange.

Anyway. Like Thorazine here, I too was given the MMPI test, and also an IQ test. However the timing was a bit off. It was in April of 2004, when i graduated in June. I found out in the weeks following, that all it was for was to try and convince my parents to keep me post-grad, and keep the cash from my wealthy father flowing, and to keep him baited. I was then involved in a court case (custody) and those results were used to prove to the court that I needed to stay in treatment (this is now me at 17, after I had been in treatment consistantly since i was 14). However all the school reported to the court was that I was "still hiding things."

But sure, thats grounds to keep me another 4 months until I went to college, right? Sounds like it to me.

yeah they tend to try and pull crap like that, I think they even treid to keep me post-grad even though i was like a model student.  Actually i was given all of the actuall testing before i went to HLA and my Psychiatrist even said that i didnt belong in that kind of treatemt, they might have listened had my ed con (Rose Lucas who as far as i know has no psychological backround whatsoever, although i could be wrong) told my ded that i would be dead within a year if i didnt go to HLA.

The 'manipulation meter' is going haywire. Why would your parents take the opion of an Ed Con over a shrink?
In my case, the Ed Con never met my son, and didn't know a thing about him or HLA. Just provided the contact info over the phone. There was nothing to sell though, he had made the decision and just needed a referral, quick.

ummm arnold zilbercant or w/e his name was is part of a handful of manipulative staff. i find it very wierd how many of the top staff have either left or gotten fired, must be some REALLY SHADY BUSINESS going on behind the scenes, cuz that makes absolutely no sense.i think buccellato needs to have a psychiological evaluation, no joke.
