[QUOTE="buddy, post: 520727, member: 12886"] Behavior specialist has no business saying if you should or should not seek any kind of medical professional. How unprofessional. Should be encouraging all input you can get. I remember an evaluation meeting one time, we were telling the parent that her child qualified under Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and she asked if she should take him to the doctor etc. I was SHOCKED that the psychologist said NO, there is no medical intervention for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) so no real need.... (I understood what she was saying in terms of there is not a cure but honestly, she has NO CLUE why a child might have symptoms of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and there are many genetic and neurological and medical conditions that cause those symptoms, she could have caused someone to miss out on a serious issue, schools are NOT to get involved in medical decisions, uggg). My son nearly died because people just looked at his behavior as emotional and Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). It is always good to get neuro, neuropsychologist, pediatrician, etc... input to rule out or rule in any other ideas. Good for you for sticking to your guns and telling him what is up. Even if the principal says anything... stick to your plan. You never want to look back and wonder what IF you got that evaluation. It is good to have for a baseline in any case. [/QUOTE]
