[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 117852, member: 1550"] in my opinion though it's NOT bad to bring new ideas to the attention of parents. If somebody hadn't told me about Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), my son would still be treated for bipolar. I think the bottom line is recommending a good neuropsychologist exam, which is MY bottom line all the time. People do come here to get new ideas, at least I did, and it was very helpful. In the end, we all make our own decisions and get a lot of different ideas from the different responses we get. We have different personalities and, like you said, experiences and I think it's not a bad idea to post them. Many new parents are looking for new ideas and direction, not just empathy, which I think everyone gets. I don't see anything wrong with posting symptoms stated in the DSM for disorders. That doesn't mean a symptom says "your child has it" but it's not a bad idea to check it out. If your child has a bad sore throat, he may not have strep, but it's always a good idea to make sure he doesn't or he could get sicker--and get others sick. The same is true in my opinion with psychiatric and neurological differences. Untreated, the child will likely get worse and take a huge toll on the entire family. If a child is getting treatment for a disorder and is not getting better, I think it's responsible to suggest they may have something other than what they are being treated for unsuccessfully. I think it's smart to suggest another evaluation for possibly more going on. So I'll continue with "Leave no stone unturned." I don't feel I can help by saying anything else.
