[QUOTE="buddy, post: 571859, member: 12886"] I have to apologize, I got mixed up as to who posted since I was reading on the mobile app. I was responding to A, I think, saying that her psychiatric said to have an Auditory Processing Disorders (APD), one would see speech difficulties. Sorry I got confused. When people say sorry you had to come here, it is not saying anything is "less than" in regard to your.child.I think people are just trying to say they feel badly there is any concern out of the typical parenting experience because most here have been thru extraordinary issues and we would, of course, not want any child to have beyond typical challenges. But most of us do feel happy to be here--to learn and have support. I.too.am an Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) and I admit, for me....not saying its the same for you, that even though I actually worked on an Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) assessment team and in an Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) early childhood program at the time, I would not agree my son was on the spectrum. I would say autistic-like sometimes. I even argued once he was diagnosis. (By then working in a private autism/developmental child center.)....but I finally saw that the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) teaching methods matched his learning style and we made progress so I wanted more of that for him. Not for a second saying that is the story for your son, my son has many issues so ..... Just saying to be open if things evolve in. a way that you can take advantage of whatever works best for your child's learning style. We used counselors, psychs, Occupational Therapist (OT), Speech Language Pathologist (SLP), neurofeedback, boost program, attachment therapy, pt, etc. If you make progress and move forward then stick with whats working. For us the psychiatric/mental health field was most limited in methods and opinions and always came up with typical mental health diagnosis even though they knew he had a brain injury. They treated his anxiety as a separate thing even calling what he would say was "feeling fake" derealization. It turned out to be seizures. I loved and trusted these folks. But I learned a big lesson and was left with much regret. If you find you have doubts, concerns, see progress is not being made or other areas need support, trust your gut. I.loved one psychiatric we saw but the little token methods and traditional behavior ideas were causing rages to the point where by the end he just attacked me as soon as we got to her office. Another one just let him scream and I said thanks but this is not working. In-home programs have worked best for behavior paired with Occupational Therapist (OT) and Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) in school and private clinics. I.learned.for us ...and I encouraged my student's families, to get all the input and therapy they could without overwhelming themselves .
