I followed up with the psychiatrist we have been seeing, yesterday. The Neuro diagnosed my son about two months ago. The psych argued with me telling me that my son doesn't have PDD, that he just has a low IQ... thus the reason he attacks his brother 24/7 he doesn't "understand" she says. So she kept pushing the whole idea of getting him tested. Forgetting the fact he has SID, is severely speech delayed still, doesn't sleep well at all, he's hyper active... and the list goes on and on.

I totally can't believe the nerve of some ppl, she even argued that the meds she prescribed wouldn't make him tired, and didn't understand why i only gave them to him at night. I finally said it wasn't a big deal, he isn't taking them anymore. We are pretty much done with meds for now, they aren't working. I think they made things worse.

Ahhhh well, guess I am off on another venture. We are now seeking behavior therapy in the home, to tame some of the behaviors for now.
