I took Sam last week to the behavioral pediatrician who we were referred to by his regular pediatrician and he wants to refer him back to him. He told me that was how they did it here in North Carolina and that if I had any concerns,the pediatrician could refer him back.

It really ticks me off when the pediatricians don't want to treat it because they say it's a behavioral issue and refer out and then the ones who can help are so overwhelmed, most are not taking new patients.

When is everyone going to get it??? It's not a behavioral issue; it's a children's issue. period.

I'm very tired of being told by doctors that they do not know what causes autism. I'm convinced now that we will never be told and it wouldn't surprise me a bit if the government already knew and is not saying.
I don't have the time, energy or strength to worry about what caused it/ I want to focus on what they "the experts" are now going to do for the millions of children who have it now. How are they going to help them? What services are they going to provide for my child and please God do not tell me it's another research project. I'm all for research and I'm all for helping out but to me, there are too many people going too many different directions. like my dad said, we must have a united front.
Sorry if I rambled. I just get tired of getting somewhere with sam and then have yet another road block put in front of me
