[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 580987, member: 11847"] I would have him reevaluated if you think this doctor is a good one for your son. If you trust her judgement and suggestion. YOU want to know what is REALLY going on. And you cannot wait for the school to look into it, they simply do not have your motivation. To me, saying "it's typical for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kiddos" brings nothing! Typical or not, it needs to be addressed. Like you said, the name/label does not matter as long as he gets the right treatment. For the right treatment you need to identify the cause of the behaviors/challenges. To identify those causes, you need a thorough evaluation that takes his past and current environment into account as well as his internal functioning. Like you said, he is only 6 so try not to project yourself too far. He has time on his side. The more you learn about your son, the better you can help and advocate efficiently. I also hear you when you say you have enough of all the docs and appointments. I do to... but yet I try to see if V is bothered just like I am. So far, my answer is no so I keep going and digging. If you feel your son needs a break than certainly give him one. A few more months won't matter ultimately. We are fighting for the long haul and be able to rest is, I believe, very important.
