Sigh. I hate how often this seems to happen.

Salli <

you know, i think that might be a big reason why it took me so long to accept

it about kailey. whenever i would go to the ped and mention something i was

concerned about, the not eating, the not sleeping, etc, he always passed it off

as no big deal. she was healthy, so he wasn't concerned...

,

I don't think there is one good ped around here. Most know nothing and won't

help. At least the ones I've found. Now here we start again with and

Trevor, I'm so tired of the battle. I just wish someone else esp my ped would

see what I do.

I would not call you narrow-minded. Really. You are entirely too accepting

of all kinds of different people here to be called that.

The others, okay, and I'll add inflexible too, although I think pig-headed

and stubborn cover that.

Of course I do not see these as negative traits.

You know, I was just thinking that you could send her a response just asking her

to let you know what she finds out.

That is and I need say no more indeed. I am satisfied though I will

regret

losing that friendship if that is what happened.

Re: From my friend whose son seemed autistic...

Salli,

I went through the same thing with a friend of a friend. My friend thought I

should talk to her friend. I met the kid and yep, he's autistic.

His mother doesn't want to hear and won't take him to be evaluated. It's

been a year and my friend says the kid still isn't talking. He's three now.

I wonder how she keeps her ped from finding out something's wrong?

Some Peds just don't look for that type of problem. I even had a neuro for

because of his seizures, who never looked into anything other than

his develpement of reflexes and seizures!

hahaha, that book should be OUTLAWED! i would look at what she SHOULD be doing

any given month, and if she wasn't doing everything, i would jump ahead to other

months and see that she was doing some stuff that she SHOULDN'T be doing for

many more months and kind of make myself feel better. geez...

I sent a thank you card to the woman who suggested my having Matt evaluated.

He was diagnosed on a Friday and she came with me to his IEP on the

following Monday. After that was when I sent the card, not just for coming

to the IEP with me, but for getting the whole ball rolling in my head.

Two weeks after his diagnosis, I took a bouquet of

flowers, a box I'd painted myself, and a thank-you card to the woman who

suggested it to me. She cried.

Needless to say that's why I no longer have a copy of that book or the pregnancy

one. Nothing I ever do follows the " norm " .
