[quote=Anonymous]We are seeing Dr. Conclon next week and have heard great things and he has been great on the phone so far.  His front office staff have been stellar.  We have been fortunate to get in to see him within three weeks of calling.  As for KK, their reputation is strong , as we all know, but I had a horrendous experience with them several years ago.  I was told my son was "severely autistic", should "institutionalize him", "will never have a relationship with another human being", and "get on with my life."  They were as wrong as wrong could be.  He is in main stream public school, has friends, is on a hockey team, lacrosse team and while he has an IEP and we are working on some social awkwardness - he will be as dysfunctional as the rest of us.  I write this so no one has the same experience as we did.  I knew something was wrong and wouldnt have flown to Baltimore (we now live in the DC area) if we werent concerned but the eval was horribly administered and I learned the doctor that saw him was a researcher without experience in seeing children.  While a painful experience and very expensive visit, going to KK taught me to be my son's advocate!  His diagnosis is ADHD and we have a long road in front of us but if I did what KK recommended, my son would be in an institution.   [/quote]
