Guest guest Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 Kim, I am so glad to know this DR is another dud! I will stay far away. you said it yourself, how could he possibly be given an autism diagnoses within 20 minutes, based on 2 things, in that case Lindsey is Autistic to, because she has speech and socials issues. It sounds like you will have to find a new DR. Lindsey's neurologist dismissed the apraxia diagnoses at age 2 1/2 because I told him she could say " hi " her only word and she said it for everything. I have since had her evaluated by several speech pathologist and she definitely has apraxia. grrrrrr Hey, let us know when you go to the zoo.

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 Exactly. My son's speech therapist told me yesterday that not only would she never recommend that doctor she would vehemently discourage anyone from going to him if she even heard they were considering it! You know, as I watched my son run to the door this morning, greet his O.T. with a smile and a, " Hi Mo-shell (), take her by the hand and lead/drag her into his room to " play Mo-shell " ; telling her to " sit down " at his little table with him; make excellent eye contact; laugh and smile; talk and play games I felt my cup fill back up and after yesterday it felt really good and I needed that.
