Have to take ds to see the horrible paed tomorrow. After 4yrs of him not being able to get off to sleep for 3/4 hrs per night - and having tried everything to try and get him to wind down naturally for 4yrs. I'm at the end if my tether and going for melatonin.
Normally I get a follow-up appointment once per year following paeds dx of ASD for ds - but I've refused all of them because I found her so useless in the dx meeting. I didn't like her approach, her blasé attitude "yes well, he'll probably be alright when he's older" .... Oh right then, that's alright. I also despised her because she said dd "would" ( yes would) most likely have ASD too. Dd was only 3mths at the time. Now I know that siblings of dx'd are at higher risk, but she very much stated it as a given that dd would have ASD.
There were lots of other things this woman said during that meeting, that I later found out to be utter tosh - it galls me to have to ask her for anything ...... ggggggrrrrr
Mind you, she'll be in for a shock because its been a long time since I was that quivering wreck lady desperate for someone to give me reassurance. Now, I still quivery days but never in front of the un professionals
