[QUOTE="spiritworm, post: 50398, member: 3804"] Thanks so much for all your advice and encouragement! I've calmed down since yesterday...still disappointed though. I guess I expected a longer evaluation into what my boy's strengths and weaknesses are, and then from that evaluation, some guidelines on how to help him with certain skills he's lacking (low frustration tolerance, impulse control for e.g.). I'll give his advice a go and try this stuff again (so as not to be defiant myself, tee hee). I do have other things on the go...an aggression study at our children's hospital (if he's screened in, he'll get 'backdoor' access to a team of specialists; apparently waitlists are typically a year long). I'll shake my pediatrician down for whatever he can give me at our next visit, place our name on any waitlists, and continue reading anything I can get my hands on. I've definately learned a lesson from this though--not to put so much hope in one person. Looking back on it, I think I was a bit foolish to think, based on other peoples' recommendations, that this guy would be the key to getting some help. WHo knows, maybe next time, he'll surprise me and offer something insightful. In the meantime, I'll try different routes. [/QUOTE]
