[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 482964, member: 1233"] I think many of the psychiatrists we have worked with wouldn't understand an instruction book if they read it. Not the good ones, but a lot of them. psychiatrist can't see it because he is having too much fun manipulating you and is way too caught up in your use of the language to remember that his job is to help you handle 2 very challenging kids. If the kids are on medications, be sure not to drop him until you have gone to the new psychiatrist, if at all possible. If it helps you feel less alone in the situation, one of the psychiatrists we took Wiz too noticed that I winced when I sat down in his office. He also noticed that at one point Wiz flinched from him when he made a fast movement with his hands suddenly. He got ALL caught up in trying to make me admit that husband beat us up regularly and that was the reason that Wiz had "problems". He tried to insist that ALL the problems were because we were abused, and even tried to say that Wiz didn't have aspergers because he was abused - actually told us that you can't have aspergers AND be abused or have PTSD. My husband has never hit me. He is the most gentle person I have ever met. Wiz flinched because he couldn't stand to be touched and has a LOT of tactile defensiveness (an Occupational Therapist (OT) problem, not a psychiatric one). So you are sooooo not alone in having a psychiatrist who can't see past his own issues to try to help you and your child with your issues. I would bet $$ that what he sees in you is what he least likes about himself. [/QUOTE]
