I want to have my sons bloods and stool samples and urine tested for a variety of factors which may be contributing/part of his ASD.
I am gearing myself up for a fight with the GP. The paediatrician told me i had to go to my GP to get the tests done and not her office (the CDC) I know what the doc is going to say "what makes you believe these tests are warranted, etc etc)
Anyway, can any of you tell me what tricks/tactics you used to get appropriate testing done for your kids. My son is undergoing biomedical intervention with supplements and natural chelation, but i need constant urine samples which are exorbitantly expensive to have done privately. the results so far though, have been amazing.
dont our ASD kids have the same right as every other kid to be tested for potential health problems, particularly when we, their parents feel they are warranted? My son cant speak for himself. He cant tell me when "it hurts", yet i know when he is in pain, cause I am his mom. I need to know where the pain is coming from and he defo has an intestinal problem.
I feel so angry right now, that all i want to do is scream at this doctor cause i know what he is going to be like. Maybe i should bone up on the law and threaten him that he is discriminating against my child. Advice please ladies!! I just want my son to be taken seriously. He is as valuable as any other child.
