... continuing an older thread, but with a slightly different subject ... this is what I am going through and feel like i'm loosing my mind. We took DD to a psychologist 2 years ago (DD was 4 1/2), she said, after 3 months sessions, she could notice smth like autistic spectrum bewhaviour but it was too early to say anything. Comunication problems, i asked? She said it's too early to say. Come back later she said. We then took DD to another clinic (another 1 month of tests), they said serious sensory integration issues. OT therapy necessary. DD was hyperactive so i asked about ADHD. Noup, they said. I felt like smth is very wrong about DD's way of talking. They said no problems. We started OT. in the meantime, we took a speech and language assesemnt in another (a third one) clinic. they said big problems! Language therapy needed. Then we took DD to another (fourth) clinic specialized in learning difficulties (DD can't read or write properly), explaining about all DD's problems, speech, lack of organization skills, lack of social skills, hyperactivity, etc etc .... she was dx with ADHD this time and possible dyslexia and communication disorder! nothing about her not being able to organize herself, to make friends, etc. Now i read about dyspraxia ..... DO THEY REALLY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT???????? I'm tired of suggesting things to one clinic, and getting confirmations from another one .... More diagnosys every year .... Just had to spit it out here .... I really don't know what we are going to do .... what to do next, where to go next ..... which is actually the truth?!
