[QUOTE="Shari, post: 136614, member: 1848"] for an evaluation there. DevPed was supposed to be setting it up, but yesterday, BT told me to call myself. So I did. I told the poor soul who answered the phones the whole story, right down to disagreeing docs, bt wanting him in more therapy than she's able to provide, and my own frustration at being the middle man. I should be hearing back soon. My gut feeling is that the psychiatrists are right on this. Or at least closer. But I feel like a heel pushing this issue again. You know what amazes me? DevPed could just diagnosis him Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified provisional, or whatever it is that they use, and that would get him access to the additional therapy right there. It wouldn't be immediate, but if it was going to help, we'd see some positive outcomes from it, I would think, in a relatively reasonable amount of time. She's not willing to try that route, yet she's willing to prescribe all sorts of drugs and poke and hope at a diagnosis that she agress doesn't fit, and a fix. That doesn't make sense to me. And so I'm still wondering if I shouldn't just take the psychiatrist's diagnosis and run with it - leave devped and gang out of it...I dunno. My head hurts. [/QUOTE]
