Arrrrghhh! So we went back today for our 2nd appointment with dev pediatrician at a nearby Children's Hospital. I brought the completed GARS-2 questionnaires. He scored them. All 4 ranged between 65-70. An autism index of 69 or less means UNLIKELY. On one he was 70 which is just barely LIKELY.
He said it looks like he really just has ODD which is underlying for his ADHD. He said the gold standard for treating ODD/CD is PCIT (Parent-Child Interaction Therapy). He said he didn't know of anywhere in our county where they offer it. He also said he gave his notice yesterday and will not be there much longer. Who cares - I was never impressed. What a waste. He also does not buy into sensory processing disorder (SPD). He says it does not exist.
So there you have it! I have been reading up on PCIT which coincidently has a lot to do with attachment which I am also looking into. Anyone have any experience with this? Tia!
