[quote=Anonymous]We saw him twice early in our journey.  On our first visit, when our son was 2.5, he said our son did not meet the diagnostic criteria for autism, and diagnosed low tone and receptive and expressive speech delays.  We did not really understand what that meant at the time.  A few months later, our son was evaluated by early intervention, and was qualified under the autism criteria.  We went back to Dr. Shropshire, feeling confused.  He then gave us an autism diagnosis, explaining that this would expand our access to services through our insurance.  But we didn't get much guidance about what to do next.  He didn't suggest a specific set of therapies, just explained the many options.  We didn't feel like it was very helpful, and got ourselves on the waitlist at Kennedy Krieger at that point.  That appointment at KKI ended up being much more helpful in terms of deeper assessments and insights to help make a longer-term therapy plan.

I'm glad we saw him, because the wait was short, and it felt like we were doing something when we didn't know what to do, but we haven't been back.[/quote]
