[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just something to consider: my son has asd, and hates the dentist. For the installation appointments, our developmental ped prescribed him some Valium. She said it’s common for this population because many of them aren’t capable of having the work complete without it. Worked well.[/quote] Oh interesting. Our psychiatrist has completely refused to do this and we have asked. Perhaps it’s related to age. (Not OP))[/quote] You should switch psychiatrists which I know is easier said than done. Our psychiatrist has prescribed meds (similar to Valium) for the dentist and a whole host of other diagnostic procedures he has to do, including blood draws. My DS has a rare syndrome and is medically complex. He has such anxiety over all these dr visits/screenings/etc that we had to some sort of medication intervention or it wouldn’t get done. [/quote]
