[QUOTE="Dara, post: 181575, member: 3572"] Small world, we are seeing the child Psychiatrist because we need help with his behavior. We love our neurologist and we see him regularly. This psychiatrist seemed to get Sammy immediately which is not something we have found in the childrens hospitals or anywhere else that we have been. The ABA approach is not working on his behavior at all. We have reached the end of our ropes on what to do at home and are looking for a new set of eyes with a new opinion and that is what we have found. We will be using the both of these doctors together to work and find help for Sammy and us. Basically, the psychiatrist has said that he is not so quick to put the Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) label on Sammy. He is not sure that this is the case. We did talk about ADHD and Bipolar which has also been discussed with the neurologist and unfortunalty, Sammy is too young to test for these things so we need help with the behaviors in the meantime. We have a nother appointment next week with the psychiatric and before then he wants us to get an EKG, test his thyroids and gather any other bloodwork and EEG that we have so he can make sure all is working well. I am very ethusiastic with this because he does not seem confused to the fact that Sammy is so well behaved at school and to the outside world and so poorly behaved at home. [/QUOTE]
