[QUOTE="nzmum, post: 640784, member: 18577"] Hello, thank you! i am in the process of trying to get evaluations done, its hard because we have free public healthcare here but its slow and sometimes the professionals they use are not very good. I'm not really sure where to start we have insurance that covers psychiatrists but not psychologists , and can not really afford to see private psychologists for this, maybe a couple of consults but full evaluations would cost thousands, however i am going to look at that if we have to .In the meantime i have been using The early intervention service ,the woman assigned to us observed her at kindergarten ( and i dont mean to sound arrogant but the person they had doing it as only as qualified as me, a preschool teacher ) but has done a little bit of extra training, her job is to observe her and then refer to other professionals if she thinks it is needed , i suspect from what she has told me that she is not going to do this as she thinks ( after observing her at kindergarten twice) that she just has behaviour issues and needs boundaries, i know this is not the case.Unfortunately she did not have any of her anxiety driven meltdowns while the woman was observing her , i was hoping she would.We are seeing her again next week where she is going to tell us the next step.If she is not making any further referrals i will seek private help .some of her symptoms seem like ADD and ODD but then she has so many Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) traits as well.I have also realised through reading and looking at her behaviour differently that her interactions with others have to be controlled by her ,her play is scripted, she tells you what to do and say , she can't play spontaneously in a give and take scenario and that is why she can't play with kids her own age or younger , at all.Im just reading more and more and seeing more and more behaviours that she shows as not being quite right for her age,she also can not handle being around toddlers, we had a friend visit with their two year old and she was beside herself with upset because he was running around the yard touching things and playing and she could not handle the disorder, she was almost inconsolable and the friends left .Its going to be very hard when her brother started crawling which he will be doing any day now.We also got a puppy and had to re home it because it caused her so much anxiety when it ran around unpredictably chewing things and just acting like a puppy does, it was so stressful for us seeing her in so much distress , it turned her world upside down and she was miserable.Im ranting now sorry.Yes i will seek further evaluations.
