[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 540460, member: 11847"] I would start looking for a develomental pediatrician, neuro-psychiatric, Occupational Therapist (OT) and Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) and get some evaluation. Depending on where you live, your insurance and otherfactors you might find easier to see one of those specialist first and others will have a long waiting list. But at the end, I would suggest you see all those specialists if possible. Talk to your regular pediatrician and be sure to be heard. I am lucky to have a good general pediatrician and she is the key to most of the referral, she is always sure sure to word thing in a way that the insurance won't refuse services. The ultimate goal: identify specific issues and get services to help your son improve. At such a young age, it might be a bit difficult to have an exact diagnosis (unless it is a big and clear diagnosis), but he might have lacking skills in his gross motor, fine motor, speech, expressing feeling, etc... Those are things that can be worked on. Welcome and hang in there. As you walk this road, you'll gain knowledge and acquire tools to help your son. My son "is not growing out of it", but we are all learning to cope with his difference. Yes, it is hard and I too become this yelling monster that I hate... I'm still working on keeping my cool in the middle of the storm. But I know I get a bit better over time. I'm sure more will come and give you some advice. [/QUOTE]
