[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pretty much everyone has electronic records these days.

None of my kid's doctors treat him differently because he has ASD.

perhaps you should switch doctors. [/quote]

We have an HMO style insurance so its not as simple as switching doctors.  We no longer need any of the SN services so its a non-issue but the point is the diagnosis is in the electronic medical system and cannot be easily removed.  We'd have to change insurances, which we cannot do without a huge financial impact.  They do a superficial look at the medical records before our appointments (including ER visits) and see it.

Your electronic records are probably by each doctor, not an entire system, where every doctor, every specialist and even the ER can see everything (which is great in many ways and a problem in other ways).  [/quote]
Lot's of people have HMOs, and now states have databases that let 
every doctor in the state see your medical records, so your situation is not unique.  But if you talk to doctors the way you sound here, it's  no wonder both they and you are confused.[/quote]
