[QUOTE="totoro, post: 22635, member: 3155"] I know it is exhausting trying to get someone to listen to you and take you seriously. I think though sometimes we feel relief that anyone is listening to us. Even if they may not be the best... What MWM was suggesting was to try and obtain a full multi-disciplinary evaluation. that would rule out most anything and rule in other things. Like at a children's hospital, maybe this doctor you are seeing now can set this up? If he is this understanding he would not be offended by this. My daughter was very violent, and diagnosed with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified and odd and adhd and mood disorder. But the person who diagnosed her with the Autism really new nothing about what he was talking about and mostly worked with Autism, so we came to find out he diagnosed everyone with that... mostly for funding. We had to go across country to find the right place and person that was qualified to diagnosis her. This was after a full Nuero-Psyhc evaluation, which by the way came up with the same diagnosis as the place across country, major mood disorder, bi-polar spectrum, with ultra rapid cycling. Noone is saying this doctor is not good, but we have all been through the battery of testing and the ups and downs and know the best results come from the most qualified people. The psychiatrist, the nuero-psychs, the teaching hospitals, developmental pediatricians etc. Most of us would not start our children on medications without a firm diagnosis and without a psychiatrist to work with. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
