[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 185584, member: 1233"] I think we had the best help from several professionals. first, the psychiatrist in cinci. EVERYONE was telling me it was all in MY head. She spent an hour with us and told me she couldn't say for certain in that amt of time, but she would bet on Aspergers. Every other professional has come to that diagnosis after spending time ruling out other stuff - even ones we didn't tell about the early diagnosis. Her husband was a therapist who ran the most AMAZING social skills group. We were truly sorry to move and not have them on our team. Next came the developmental pediatrician who did the MDE as part of their intake. He has it done on EVERY child the practice sees. They were a great group and he, specifically, had great rapport with difficult child and I. He also pegged the distance in difficult child and husband's relationship and also validated my fears for Jessie at a time when my husband thought I was "overreacting" to sibling squabbles. The therapist we saw after we moved was a Godsend. She really helped me hold my family together, get each of the kids the help they needed, and not have a nervous breakdown. She was the first one to see through difficult child. The senior nurse on the psychiatric hospital unit difficult child was in. another one who saw through all his manipulations, justifications, and trickery. Said he was the most manipulative child they had seen in quite a number of years. Helped me keep him in when they wanted to release him after 4 weeks, and again after 6 weeks. The ED teacher and her assistant when we put difficult child back into school in 5th grade after homeschooling him. They understood how smart he is. They worked to challenge him AND to teach him coping skills. She truly understood, as did her assistant. They gave me HOPE, which probably was more valuable than anything else I ahve ever been given.
