[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 185943, member: 1233"] I think that you are wise to realize weegfg won't "grow out of it" and that it is time to push for the social skills group. Is the dev pediatrician the person who runs the social skills group? Is it funded by insurance or any medicare children's insurance? IF this is the case, and the other professionals put Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified or other autism spectrum diagnosis on their billing sheets and dev pediatrician keeps him out because HE doesn't think so, then he could, maybe lose the medicare approval if you push it? Just out on a limb, but autism and autistic spectrum disorders are the "hot topic" children's medical disorder. So maybe push this, with letters from the other docs working with you, to the state level?? Does your state have an autism advocacy group? My backwards state has one at the state level - I only know because they called me for info on Aspergers. This group says it is a push on the FED level that got them funded on the state level. Use this against the dev pediatrician, or get the other docs to organize a different social skills group? I know our fairly largish town/small city does not have any social skills groups. We have guidance offered as a class in teh schools, but NO social skills groups offered by any therapist or other professional in town. so you are not alone. But push your other docs to get one going. The benefits, billings wise, are huge for them. I am sorry difficult child 1 went ahead with the marriage. I doubt the military will go ahead and pay on the higher level - or if they do and then with-in a certain # of years difficult child 1 gets a divorce, he has to pay back the extra. Or it used to be this way. If difficult child 1 is thrown out of the military, will he come to his dads/grandparents, or to your home, or is there a plan at all? Have you thought about how that would impact your other kids?? YOU??? The military does have a lot of resources for alcoholism, is that part of what you think is going on with difficult child 1? Any idea if it is partially a result of self-medicating for another issue? What would your best guess be? Whatever happens, it is clear you love ALL the kids a lot. They are lucky to have you, so take care of YOU for them. (((((HUGS))))) [/QUOTE]
