typically typically since when is there anything TYPICAL about Autistic spectrum! That's the thing it's not TYPICAL!
Oh I'm so upset with the policitical BS! Ok your right I believe you, society is trying to pull you down and hold you down. WEll Gosh darn it were not going to let them! I know you tired and your ill and you have two children.
This so called doc. person knows it's more then OCD like behavior. Like the others have said he does not want you to have services. My mind is running around trying to find a way to get around the political BS.
Do you quilfy for services because of your health? I mean outside of AS. I wonder if forwarding what you have said and others have said to Tony Attwood would help. I assume it has a be Canada Doc that dx's you though huh? But maybe he could educate the last doc who saw you?
And don't you dare live. I'm getting to like you. I don't connnect to ppl very often. But when I do it's hard to get rid of me. LOL some can attess to that.
When I first started looking for help with my son I was told many many things. I was told "he's fine but might have a speech delay because of constant ear infections". I was told "he just has trouble with his eyes that is why he doesn't look at ppl or understand how to follow a finger". Also "your son doesn't understand anything anyone is saying to him he needs much more speech therapy". Pleeeeeease!
I went on the net and I found out the difference my son carried and in doing so I found out the same for me. I then when to a childrens hospital in a big city and it was there that they tested him properly and dx him. I wonder what would have happened if I had given up and listened to the other doctors? Well, don't you listen either, that doctor you saw was wrong, plan and simple he was wrong.
I'm not dx with anything. I've never seen anytype of doctor, psychiatris, or whatever, for myself so does that mean that I too do not belong on this board? Of course not! Hell if nothing else I have a child dx, and so do you so, lets stay.
WE'll figure something out. You'll see. Right now, more then anything, you need to get well. You need to rest and take care of yourself as best you can.
I'm real sorry your going threw this.
