[QUOTE="ready2run, post: 413638, member: 11339"] i would seriously question what any doctor who is willing to ignore so many previous symptoms has to say. Autism doesn't just go away, although it can seem to suddenly appear out of nowhere, as i have witnessed in two of my children. the coping strategies they use can change but therapy can help them eliminate some of the problems but it doesn't go away. i would seek out a different psychiatrist. i know my original family doctor told me she didn't beleive in autism and my daughter was accentric and she also told me babies couldn't be lactose intolerant when my daughter was born when she clearly was but the doctor would rather have kept her on tube feedings because of her own beleifs... i would not go back to her for advice. i am also not a real beleiver in the immunisation theory but to each their own. my 4yo has recently started regressing, having meltdowns and flapping his hands as well as having sensory issues with taste and smell. it is difficult to watch when there is nothing i can do stop it. right now i just keep hoping it will stop getting worse. my daughter has also gone through several periods of regression where she seems to backslide and lose skills she used to have while at the same time picking up more behaviours.....it seems to be every couple years or so. anyways, there are alot of medications out there, not just 2. the options are practically limitless. we have our 5yo on risperidone which helped alot with the sleeping and the aggression although he still has alot of problems any progress is better than none. sorry i don't have any real answers. i have similar issues in my family and i wish i had a solution. it feels like our family is being ripped apart here too. it's good that you have some support and people trying to help you solve this.
