[QUOTE="totoro, post: 242912, member: 3155"] Buspar was no good for us also. The thing I have found over our short time, but my long time dealing with Mental Illness. Is that the Doctors who specialize in each disorder are going to *think* your child *has* that disorder regardless. Our job as parents is to always be one step ahead of them and to make them prove what they think. Like the guy who was trying to diagnosis K as having a Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified. All of her symptoms could also be attributed to her BiPolar (BP). He was merely giving her the Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified diagnosis because it is easier to receive *help* with this diagnosis. I said no fricken way, she does not have a Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified, so I am not going to lie. Most of the Autism and Mental Illness symptoms overlap. So unless you have a great psychiatrist who knows his *stuff*, they will mess it up and they will confuse it. I take any therapist, Psychologists, diagnosis'es with a grain of salt. They may think they know what they are seeing, they may see K perseverating, but it is not because she is Autistic. It is part of her BiPolar (BP). Her sensory issues are part of her sensory processing disorder (SPD). Not Because she is Autistic. Just like her Hyperactivity and impulsivity is part of her instability and not ADHD. I just think most of these Docotors have no clue what they are dealing with. Then when you add a kid like D, who if he is truly on the Spectrum and has a Mood-Disorder. You need an exceptional Doctor!!! For us we have learned that we treat the symptoms, the ones causing the biggest issues. Then the therapies. I firmly believe that therapies for Autism help all of our kids regardless of diagnosis. I just wish they were more readily available! For us so far Occupational Therapist (OT) and Therapeutic Horse Riding have been by far the best. I don't know I am kind of rambling, I feel your frustration. I just want to whack the medical field in the you know what. [/QUOTE]
