[QUOTE="aeditha17, post: 114984, member: 4486"] SHe seems eager to be social, though she is extremely controlling which drives some kids away. SHe also can get really upset when the play doesn't go exactly her way so in that sense, she has issues. We have had no other evaluations except for the dev. pediatrician. and our experiences with a gastroenterologist for her refusal to go #2. She just started voluntarily using the toilet this past month - a VICTORY! She'd been to the ER 3 times to be disimpacted because she wouldn't go to the bathroom. We spent so much time and $ on prescriptions for chronic constipation when all the while I think now that she was holding it on purpose. I will explore the Occupational Therapist (OT) and Speech therapy evaluations. I wonder if I can self-refer for that or if I need the dev. pediatrician. to do that. Our regular pediatrician is pretty good about following my lead (I am the one who suggested my oldest be evaluated for Tourette's) so maybe I can go that route if I have to. I am just in a whirlwind of things going on and truth be told I am seeing little things begin to crop up with my easy child (4 y/o) but I am afraid to say anything because I already get the eye rolls and the facial expressions when I start talking about my other two sugar-bears' issues! I am NOT trying to find reasons or excuses for their behavior that will get them off the hook of responsibility. They all come from genetic backgrounds that pre-dispose them and the past 5 years of their lives have been anything but normal. Whew - sorry. This is years of dealing with a Tourette's child and a husband who's been hospitalized several times with his panic disroder on my own coming out.... I will move forward as you suggested and keep you posted. I have a meeting with the therapist tomorrow am and I will bring up the Occupational Therapist (OT) and speech with her to see what she has to say about it. Thanks a million!!!! B [/QUOTE]
