[QUOTE="buddy, post: 537888, member: 12886"] Hi and welcome. I agree with TeDo and your thoughts too. Those symptoms could stand alone or be that bigger picture kind of thing. And do you mind if I put on my Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) hat for a second? Not about your child of course ...but as a special needs person.....any doctor who diamisses concerns and especially who says to wait! is very out of touch with best practices. One thing that is tried and true in the research ....early intervention is most helpful. Does it cure? No ...but can you help remediate and prevent bigger issues ...ummm that is just common sense. And for the neuro not to discuss options with you? Well ....when I meet a new doctor I ask them if they are team players? Do they personally respond to emergency calls if I request? ...I pray you can find someone like that. I hope you can find a neuropsychologist to do new testing. A developmental pediatrician can also have a team that is good. As tedo said a more complete Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation would be good as well. I'm on my phone so will check in later. I know the feeling of having a raging child so my heart is connected to your post. Hope you come here often at least to know you are not alone. [/QUOTE]
