Neuropschy's are very few and far between around here but I will do my utmost to track one down!! by psychiatrist do you mean her pshychiatrist?? She is still going to him on a weekly basis and recently he did tell me that he suspects autisic spectrum disoder. I have called him this morning and am awaiting a call back from him. I don't think he will be able to convince her to take medications - once she had made up her mind about something, that's it. She is VERY rigid. I think she won't take any medications because she doesn't want to beleive there is anything wrong with her. I tried to put cod-liver oil into her cereal once and she found out and went beserk and ever since that she wont take any type of medications at all and is very suspicious and untrusting of me and anyone who works in the clinic where I bring her. She absolutely refuses to sit in any of the seats at the clinic so all her sessions are conducted with her standing. She is the same when her tutor comes to the house on a monday, she just refuses to sit down and has to do her lessons standing up!!
oh, and last night I was on the verge of calling for an ambulance but the only reason I didn't is that last time we did that she was taken to a mainstream children's hospital who didn't have a clue what to do with her and she came out worse than what she was going in. She even developed a tic disorder while she was in there due the anxiety and i couldn't put her through that again.
