[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 466453, member: 11847"] If you can pay out of pocket, your list of provider will be that much greater! That's what we ended up doing for the one evaluation that ruled out Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). This was evaluation was $400, but well worth it. Than she suggested an Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation and we got some answers then (still waiting for report). Altogether we had: speech evaluation, school evaluation, psychiatric evaluation directed toward Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation. We also had his eyes and ears checked. It was done in bit and pieces but we finally got a HELPFUL diagnosis. Oh yeah, we started with a consultation from a developmental and behavioral pediatrician who diagnosis ODD and Disruptive behavior not otherwise specified. He wanted to put him o medications right away. 5 evaluation later, he has sensory processing disorder (SPD). Moral: put yourself on waiting list, pay out of pocket when you can and don't stick with "professional" that don't help. It is a long journey to get help. Find a health professional that you trust and ask for help. That is a good starting point. If you believe Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) might be a diagnosis, read about it and try to use some Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) suggested strategies. Since your son knows he's different, maybe agknowleage it. Talk with him about it, explain that there are people that can help. That it is difficult to find those good people but you are working real hard so he can meet them. Stay strong and keep digging. [/QUOTE]
