[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op: I was where you were when my seemingly normal nursery schooler was being run arnd for eegs and dietary tests and hearing tests: angry, shellshocked,  pissed that this was becoming my life.

I hope it goes away for you. For me, this is my life now ; my kid is not "normal"  and its not the crazy doctors fault. I'd like nothing more than to drop my kids off at school in the morning and get on w my life, like so many of my friends, but that's not my reality.. I can be pissed, I can be in disbelief, or I can deal w it.

To answer your question, the dev ped will run some diagnostics and use their expertise to evaluate your child and make next step recommendations. My dev ped has declined to put an autism dx on my kid, even though others want that[/quote]

I am so sorry for you, really.  What you describe is EXACTLY how I am feeling.  Just once I'd like the teacher to say my kid had a great day insted of giving me the litany of every little effing thing he supposedly did wrong.  I want to ask, "oh, really? And NONE of the other 3 yo's do that?"  Some things I'll give her, but some of the stuff that gets brought up is just so asinine.  At this point, if we keep going down this rabbit hole, I will spend more time getting my child evaluated than actually working.  And I will end up on Xanax.[/quote]
