Unless, of course, you count the advice that we should institutionalize Willy, 'cause that was so helpful and not at all behind the times.<br /><br />Though, from the sounds of it, I'm not convinced that would have been helpful 7 years ago either--it would have been too overwhelming (at least for me) for anything remotely usable to sink in.Stephaniehttp://embracingchaos.stephanieallencrist.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8508619860116485212.post-68965037028814193702012-03-17T19:25:58.974-04:002012-03-17T19:25:58.974-04:00Hmm I'm finding with our service provider over...Hmm I'm finding with our service provider over here that there is no individualisation at all - they offer the same answers to every child, maybe packaged a little differently each time, it sounds as though you are experiencing something similar. And Oscar sounds exactly like my son from this! Which is comforting as I love Oscar :) I hope you get some real help next time xxLooking for Blue Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10010049814419812468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8508619860116485212.post-12611496758455227032012-03-17T18:53:15.194-04:002012-03-17T18:53:15.194-04:00Hahaha...you really made me laugh with this!

Your Omar IS a smart man ;-) I think that now that you know what you're dealing with with this paediatrician you'll be more prepared for next visit and won't let her preach at you ;-)<br /><br />My guy LOVES to repeat a word he finds funny over and over and over again.

It would be nice if more professionals listened to parents, waited to hear what they knew.<br /><br />Every time the pedi runs on, definitely shout pingus at her!Kim Wombleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15492455180502821052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8508619860116485212.post-63221338574573784642012-03-17T11:50:49.243-04:002012-03-17T11:50:49.243-04:00My Omar would have had to hold me back with ropes ...My Omar would have had to hold me back with ropes and several good knots. Oh my word, don't you love when the experts talk AT you? This is the one time where I don't mind my child going in and being as socially inappropriate as he can be. Maybe it will help her remember why she is there. I don't know. <br /><br />Our boys sound so much alike. The not wanting to leave the house unless HE wants to, the computers, the food...I could go on. <br /><br />I do hope when she sees him, she also sees what an incredible boy he is. And remembers that's due to you.Lizbethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03449627964374811836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8508619860116485212.post-30556948462439161622012-03-17T11:46:37.188-04:002012-03-17T11:46:37.188-04:00Great post!

If not there are many that seem to be pleased at their ability to talk down to you. A quick "I know all that, we've been at this a long time" tends to shut it down. <br /><br />I think over the years the "professionals" have been much more stressful that a child on either end of the spectrum.farmwifetwohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02680758336779501712noreply@blogger.com
