[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 310410, member: 1550"] Hi there. Sorry about all your trouble. I live in a small town in WI so I understand that the quality of care probably isn't close to where you live. I remember your post. Can you travel a bit to get answers? I would dump the "bad doctors" because your son is hurting and needs a firm diagnosis so you can learn how to parent him with his disabilities. If he has Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) he will need a lot of school interventions. University hospitals are wonderful and most always take Medicaid,which is how WE got to go. We don't have money either, trust me. I highly recommend going to the closest university hospital, even if you have to drive several hours and stay overnight at a cheap hotel, to get a neuropsychologist (not NEUROLOGIST...very different) evaluation and also see a Psychiatrist. They usually have "cutting edge" treatment and are teaching facilities and research facilities. Maybe after a few visits, they can aid your local doctors over the phone. Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) is a form of autism and these kids do not have psychiatric problems and in my opinion don't belong in psychiatric hospitals so I agree with you not putting him in one. Often in a psychiatric hospital, a Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) kid will get a wrong psychiatric label and then you have made it worse. in my opinion it makes no sense to keep going to people who aren't helping, and you and hub seem like you're having a hard time. And I really feel bad for the little one. He needs to be diagnosed right and given the correct treatment. I have nobody near me either. It's hard. (((Hugs))) [/QUOTE]
