Guest guest Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Hi Pam! I'm curious about the doctor/wife combo you found in Central Illinois, as I'm originally from that area. Could you share the names and which town they're in. Feel free to email me offline if you'd like. Thanks! Heidi --------- Intro and questionsTo: AutismBehaviorProblems Date: Saturday, August 9, 2008, 2:50 PM Hi! This is my first post. I'm so glad I found this group!I have a 9 y/o son who was given an ADHD diagnosis when he was 6, butI'm convinced that he has Asperger's. He is a textbook version ofthe syndrome, although I'm still trying to figure out how to get himevaluated. My kids are on an HMO through Healthy Families (Cal. StateProgram) and no one seems to be able to tell me of a definitedirection to go. We had him in Speech at 4 through the Public Schoolbecause he was having a hard time finishing his sentences, I mentionedto the ST that he had a auditory processing problem, but she didn'tsee it and so that wasn't address. I also had OT evaluate him becausehe was soooo sensitive to touch (major problem with anything loose onhis body). They also found nothing. So no help from the school system.I have gotten some referrals from trusted people, but none them takeinsurance. I got a list of psychologist in my area that are on ourinsurance, but I don't know them from a hole in the wall, and I reallythink we need a specialist. But I'm not really sure what kind.What discipline is the most reliable to evaluate autism? Is it aNeuropsychologist? A psychologist? A Neurologist? Or some else?I can't seem to plug into the right "channel" without paying someoneexorbitant amounts of money that we don't have. Does anyone know whatkind of treatments are needed and whether insurance will cover them?Now for the behavior issues.We have a 7 y/o girl who's temperament and personality are the exactopposite of what my son needs. She is loud and touchy feely, he hatesloud and can't stand to be touched by her. She is always annoying himand when she knows she's annoying him or he pushes her away, she feelsrejected and responds by being more annoying. The battles are neverending. And they get pretty ruff with each other. I know a lot ofthem start because my son isn't perceiving what he intentions are oris missing or misinterpreting what is happening between them. Ihaven't talked to either of them about it. I have talked to themabout ADHD, but I'm not sure how much or what to tell them about autism.We went to a counselor at our church the other night and he didn'tseem to want to address the autistic issues at all, so was of no help.And it was only a one time deal. (I think he had a problem with ushomeschooling. ) Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
