[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 463320, member: 11847"] Malika, If you feel the psychiatist is not good enough, just forget about her. Seriously, don't waste your time convincing her of anything. That is not the way it is supposed to work. Doctors are not all created equal: there are good ones and there are bad ones. Some have philosophies that fit your life style, some not so much. Try to look for a reputable one in Paris. Sorry to say that, but when you look for the best, whatever field it is, you need to go to Paris (that is if you live in France!lol). If the waiting list is long, put J's name on it and don't get discouraged. When we were talking to the psychologist who evaluated V the other day, I was asking why the initial devel. pediatrician. wanted to use medications when the diagnosis is so uncertain yet. Her answer was: he is a medical doctor, that's just the way he thinks. She even added, after a few hesitation, to not go back to him until we have the sensory issues clarified! It is simply not his field of expertise. I guess not only do you need to find a good doctor but you also need the right doctor. Which of course can be tricky when you don't really know what you're looking for (so many possibilities and look alike symptoms). In the mean time, find a good behavioral therapist. Just someone that cares and has experience with kids that are simply different. Our therapist admitted not being able to diagnosis properly, but she helps us SO MUCH! She helps us think, analyse and find ways to cope with everyday problems. She does not deny the need for a correct diagnosis, but she also reminded me that dealing with the problem is more important than finding a name for it. The name would make it easier of course, but the absence of "label" does not mean you can't find ways to cope. I hope it makes sense to you. Oh, and try to give yourself a break once in a while: a weekend with no reasearch on the subject for example. Try to shut it off for acouple days once in a while. And look at your son and all the good things he has going on for him. I know, I have to do that once in a while. [/QUOTE]
