RE: help the neighbour!!!!!

[Guest guest]

Find a new doctor - sounds like this one is a real ass!!! I'd change drs and

then I'd call the health insurance and tell them why!

[Guest guest]

Is there any way this woman can see a new doctor? I wouldn't be taking him

back to that one.

If she feels that her child is on the Spectrum, she is most likely right.

Have her have the psychologist refer her elsewhere.

Don't know if that helps. Don't know what the situation is in the UK.

Get another doc and leave this idiot in the dust somewhere

She needs a new doctor, preferably a ped with ASD

experience. Maybe the psychologists can recommend

someone? Or, if there is a children's hospital in her

area, she could call them for a recommendation. Also,

she could complain about this doctor's attitude to the

AMA. Being adopted shouldn't make any difference.

She has to fight to get her child the necessary

treatment, just like all of us. Tell her to hang in

there and to trust her own judgement.

with him that wouldnt be helped by good parenting(if

you get my meaning).<

Tell her to get a second opinion, by a professional who has experience in

Autism Spectrum Disorders.
