[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 195262, member: 1550"] I'm big on gut instinct too. If it says "no" then I say "no." I've told doctors before "No thanks." I also look for other professionals if a certain one doesn't help my child in a reasonable amount of time. I think sometimes doctors, being human, give up on certain kids and just throw things out there to pacify parents. "Try this, since that didn't work..." There is no way in hello I personally would have put my child on Thorazine, but he was on Risperdal and Zyprexa and had the same horrible reaction that some people get on Thorazine. Finally, my gut told me to get a new evaluation. That's when things turned around for my child. Psychiatrists just didn't know what was wrong with my son. He needed to see a neuropsychologist instead, somebody who was looking both for psychiatric AND neurological problems. If we'd stuck with Psychiatrists alone, he'd probably still be doped up on medications, or I would have gotten so fed off I'd have weaned him off (and he is better OFF medications). But he never would have gotten Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) interventions because he wouldn't have had the right diagnosis. Just my own teeny vent :) [/QUOTE]
