[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 578673, member: 15799"] Yea, Buddy and MWM, that is my concern as well. The psychiatric that comes in has to have TONS of experience (successful that is) working with kids on the spectrum. You really need to be cautious. "Regular" interventions don't work with our kids. If the psychiatric has no experience or very little experience working with autistic kids, I wouldn't do that to DS13. Personally, before the psychiatric is allowed to do anything, I would ask 2 questions: 1) How many autistic kids have you worked intensively with? and 2) Have you ever been asked to stop services and why? I really hope this ends up being a great help but, based on other stories here, therapists that don't have a lot experience can do SO much damage. Praying this is NOT the case for you. I can only imagine what the bill for this type of service will be. LOL As for the pediatrician not saying anything, DS13 didn't appear "classic" autistic and the doctor probably didn't know or didn't believe that there was a whole spectrum. That is NOT his/her area of expertise. I have the same regrets (my story is similar but worse) but ultimately, it was MY responsibility to follow up with professionals that would know. I didn't back then but I did now and we're doing the best we can and we're getting better every day. [/QUOTE]
