[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 453788, member: 11791"] been there done that. You've got to keep banging on doors, pushing buttons, getting more leads. Part of the challenge is that you do not really know exactly what you are dealing with - so, to get turned down because they don't deal with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is bull-twiddle. You may well be dealing with both a mental health issue AND a developmental issue AND additional problems due to environment etc. But if they are turning you down, then they are probably right - they won't have the right attitude, if nothing else, to be able to help you. [U]Keep looking[/U]. You need a full-scale evaluation. Teaching hospital? should have a child developmental team, or a child behaviour evaluation team, or something like that. Or a neuropsychologist (seems to be a common route in the US) Don't be pigeonholed either - you 're not looking for someone who deals with diagnosis XXX - you're looking for someone who can start at square one and work with the whole picture and come up with fresh recommendations and dxes as appropriate.
