[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 496840, member: 1233"] She sounds like a total keeper to me. I like docs who think, and who don't just jump on the wagon of every passing thought but are willing to wait a little while and see if something is needed. I wouldn't put off an eeg, that would be my one real big problem. Not sure about those with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) developing epilepsy - I have never heard this but haven't seen a psychiatrist for Wiz in years. Mostly I agree with the others, but I think ALL our kids should have EEGs. Esp if the docs are considering stims - absence epilepsy can look like inattentive adhd and stims make the seizures worse. If I hadn't insisted on eeg before medications, Jess would have been really messed up - the docs were a thousand percent (direct quote) sure it was adhd and not epilepsy but they very condescendingly gave us the neuro referral because I was totally immovable and intractable (they also offered me medications to amke me "more reasonable as a parent" - gag). Then they were all shocked and they didn't know epilepsy could look like adhd. whatever. Your psychiatrist is not just making a diagnosis and ignoring what doesn't fit that diagnosis. She is thinking, considering, and seems to have a real grasp of what is going on in his mind. This is GOOD. [/QUOTE]
