Hello Everyone, Marg, SmallWorld, MWM, DDD, Busywend, I am having a hard time finding a neropsychiastrist for my daughter. I have looked on the web on can find none anywhere around. I know there has to be one nearby, because I am close to Indianapolis, Louisville, and St. Louis. Does anyone have any recommendations?
I got the results back from strep (no suprise) I was neagtive at this point, and we have to retest in 2 weeks. My daughter showed some signs of being her old self today, but I don't want Occupational Therapist (OT) get my hopes up. I am trying to keep an open mind, and research all areas. I agree that if you give the doctor the idea he will run with it. My daughter seems worse at night, especailly at bedtime. She really seems to come unglued at this point. She is still doing the same things, but they seemed less frequent earlier on today. I should have a psychiatrist narrowed by tomorrow, and I will start down that road. I would really rather start with a neuropsychologist at this point. She didn't seem to have the touching issues today, but still tells me everytime she touches, bumps, and says she doesn't know if she did it on purpose. I have tried to explain, but I still really think she is too confused to understand.
My husband is really having a hard time with her rejection. He is a very quite person, and show feelings much. He also never can see the gray areas only the black or white. He also gives up were as I do not, and so he depends on me to find the answers.
This is something that I can't get a quick fix on, and he has trouble understanding.
My mother lives with us, I have taken care of her for most of my life. She is a very negative person, but she loves me unconditionally, and is trying to help. I don't have any extended family, so I don't have much help.
Best to all
