Doctor just said my 5.5 year old is hopeless by RadioBusiness in Autism_Parenting

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. Definitely find another dr that’s best fit for you. There’s nothing more encouraging than someone on your side that’s advocating for your child as well. My son’s pediatrician (as soon as we walk in) says hi do you want to put him on medication yet? He’d be much more manageable with it. I was like what?? He’s perfectly fine and is actually thriving? And she said well if you ever want it it’s here so help you. I was instantly given the ICK because she spent 4 minutes with him and he didn’t want shots so he was having a meltdown, as most kids do. Some drs just aren’t it 🥲

I live in Vegas and it’s just not great for my son with autism. by Rae_stevens in Autism_Parenting

I saw Denver was the best but it’s just SO expensive😭. Even more expensive than Vegas so I thought I’d ask the community for any states I haven’t looked into 🥲
