[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 42415, member: 805"] Neednew, I'm going to have a different opinion than the other posters here. My difficult child was originally diagnosis'd by our therapist. He was under her care for about a year before it became clear we needed a diagnosis in order to medicate. It really was beneficial for all of us and he was the same age as your daughter when he first saw our therapist. To this day, he remains very, very close with the therapist and will, from time to time, actually ask to speak with her. She let him know from the very beginning that everyone needs someone to talk to. Sometimes they do just talk. Sometimes she helps him with calming techniques. She takes her que from him. If you feel comfortable going with the therapist first, go for it. If your gut tells you to try that first, follow it. You may find in a couple months you need to do something different. I would go with what you feel comfortable with. Good luck. Sharon [/QUOTE]
