[QUOTE="paperplate, post: 578870, member: 15831"] Yes, I'm a little worried, mainly because past experience with 'doctors' has told me that they miss a LOT! Like the peds doctor that said he had 'night terrors' and 5 years later that night terror lasted over 15 minutes and the paramedics we called FINALLY said SEIZURE! That's when we got him into neuro, had his first EEG and found out otherwise. Took FIVE YEARS to find that out. Meanwhile, in those 5 years, he was playing full on tackle football and we found out from neuro, bad idea! Seriously, I've about had it with doctors and their 'trial and error' medications etc... But at this point, I'm just desperate to get him help. I know we need someone familiar with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). My issue is, the one facility we had been in touch with (they called daily to check on DS13 after his breakdown on Prozac), they DO have that experience, but that's not who psychiatric referred for the home services. It's some other place with a Children's HOME on the property, that makes me very nervous. My son is NOT leaving this house! So maybe I better call the first place and let them know whats going on. They had plans for a 'sensory diet' etc... They knew all about sensory issues, aversion to sounds and bright lights. I thought that was who she was referring us too. But no. Now I'm just starting to feel like I through my kid under the bus?! The Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) place opens at 9am. I'm calling them. They have home-based and any place with a 'group home' makes me very nervous. He'd never survive there. He barely makes it in the junior high and those kids are 'neurotypical, behaved kids'.
