Ok so yesterday we went to our paed appointment, we had a letter from his teacher (which was a little sad to read about him no mixing with others and some other skills that are immature) and we had the list monnie gave us filled out.

When we got in there she started of by saying she was going to have to run off to a caesar any minute but she was very apologetic. She gave him the once over then had to go so we had to wait for about 30min. By the time she got back DS was starting to get antsy as the other kids in the waiting room had unsettled him a little. She talked to us about a few f the things on the list and then asked us some questions from a checklist made for 2-3yo which was hard to think back as regards to his specific behaviour at that age. She then asked what we thought theproblem might be and we said we thought maybe aspergers or sensory perception blah blah

After listening to us she then told us that this is a psychological problem that she can't diagnoise and gave us a list of 6 different psycholgists???? I said that people we had spoken to (inc teacher) had said we would need to se OT etc and she said she is happy to write out any referrals we would like (OK???) and a brouchure on Autusim and alink to tony attwood site

Needless to say we left there feeling a little disappointed with no answers at all. DS lost the plot in the car and then fell asleep so all in all a great day NOT

Later that night at quilting I ran into a friend who's little boy has just been diagnoised with autism and she has recommend we she another paed who specialise in asd and aspergers. So now DH and I are stuck, do you go to the psychologist - we both think this could be beneficital for him but might be going about it back -to -front. or do we go and see this lovely dr who can give us answers on the day after speaking to us apparently??? which will mean a new referral and another $200. So confused. I am ringing the new practice today to see what they can tell me over the phone
