[QUOTE="totoro, post: 76084, member: 3155"] Hi- I would be a bit concerned if I were you... who was the specialist? WHo diagnosis'd him? I would document all of his concerning behaviors, what lead to them, triggers, how long it lasted, etc. Anything you can think that will help a Doctor understand your son. We even videod K when she was really bad for the psychiatrist... it helped. I would call your pediatrician- doctor and let them know you are deeply concerned and would like a referral for a Neuro-psychiatric evaluation and a good Psychiatrist. If you have a good pediatrician. they should help you find these things or point you in the general direction... Children's hopstial in the area? University/teaching hospital? Those are good... I would check with insurance and see if you need a referral, I never did... I would call everywhere that does a Multi-Disciplinary evaluation and Nuero-psychiatric evaluation's and let them know what is up and get on the apt. List and let them know you would like to please be called if there is a cancellation!!! Let them know you are very concerned, without sounding freaked out!!! Don't be too pushy, be nice, but try to get your point across that you need help for your child!!! It took me lots of phone calls, lots of gentle pushing to get help for my daughter... we had to travel across country at one point. Hang in there... [/QUOTE]
