Are both of these professional
really involved in helping you? Do you feel like they are listening and comprehending what your day is like? Are they continually helping you find out about available services that you may qualify for? Sometimes, health professionals just really don't take time to listen to what their patients are saying and appreciating what is really going on daily. For example it is easy for a physician to ignore that a patient in is pain and not getting the right pain medication, because they don't have to deal with the pain or deal with the patient moaning and groaning in th middle of the night.
How old is your son? I know in my colleague's case the child was dx'ed early and has received various services since like age 3. He is now in junior high and seems to be doing pretty well. Just from the small part of this family's life I've seem, I can tell that the worry and stress can be overwhelming even with the help of qualified and dedicated professionals.
daynnight...I hope you can get the help and support you need for both you and your son.
