[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 482286, member: 1514"] Well....before I make that assumption...I do have some questions. Do you have any mental health diagnosis's? I do and I am not ashamed of it. I know that some of my issues have had effects on my kids. Even before I knew that I had a concrete diagnosis, I knew there was something wrong or different with me. There was simply no denying it. As my S/O put it, he thought I had the worst case of PMS on record. There were maybe 3 days a month I was normal...lol. It could be that you have difficulty getting your point across to the doctor because you have trouble with some executive functions. From your signature it appears your kids both have some forms of autistic spectrum disorders and those tend to be genetic. It is highly likely that you may have some traits that are called shadow traits and you perform well overall but in the stressful doctors office, you have a harder time. Natural. I would think a therapist would be good to interact with you and your kids to see how things are going. Please dont think I am dxing you or being mean. I am not. I am just telling you how I learned through my travels with uncovering my own diagnosis's and how they came into play with how I dealt with parenting my kids and with dealing with the professionals in our lives.
