[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 483060, member: 1550"] Sadly, there are many like ours. I tend not to stick with them. I can't help my child is my psychiatrist is underminding me and questioning my perspective. It turned out that I was right all along, after many psychiatrists told me that Sonic only had "autistic traits" and had "mood disorders" and the ever-so-famous ADHD, which can look a lot like Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) but does not include the severity of social problems, stims, and other such issues. After working at a few hospitals and a medical answering service, in which you get to know the doctors AS THEY ARE IN REAL LIFE, I learned not to be so starstruck just because of their titles. Our big shot psychiatrist on our answering service burned out several partners with his manic-like ability to work 24/7 and had two kids with severe mental health issues. It opened my eyes. If certain psychiatrists don't work for our specific kids, what good is hanging in there? I give the psychiatrists/therapists, anyone 3-6 months to help my child improve. If that doesn't happen, we move on. My three year involvement with this psychiatrist taught me not to hang around too long and to go with my mom gut. I do believe in mom gut! [/QUOTE]
