[QUOTE="JRC, post: 726165, member: 21147"] I think there are people here who have really seen it all--and it's some really terrible stuff. A lot of the advice or comments you are getting are based on some very bad experiences people have had. Experiences that made them wish they'd trusted their instincts and done something earlier or wish that someone had warned them about. So, you hear alot of advice based on their own pain. And the advice won't necessarily apply to your situation. That can make you feel unheard, dismissed and frustrated. I will say, though, that I belong to a couple of other online support organizations and--because no two children really look alike or have the same diagnosis, symptoms or presentation--most of the advice I've gotten has been really only somewhat helpful. What I'm trying to say is, all of our children have unique issues that need unique solutions. And the people on these online support sites are about solutions, for sure. But they may not be solutions for your kid. The other thing I want to say is how frightened you sound. And devastated. What is happening with your daughter is not your fault. She is very young but you have been aware of her issues now for a while. That is really good because it means that you are going to help her. Find doctors that you can talk to and collaborate with. It's exhausting and I'm sorry that you are heading down this path. But she is lucky to have you in her corner. xo [/QUOTE]
