Re: Airline Pilot and Child with Autism
Tony the NLVD for him was mistreated for a long time. We tried 3 different Dr's. One was a family counselor and she basically just blamed the wife and I on his issues, the second wanted to give him medication (not ridalyn) and the other still not sure what she was doing. Our pedicatrian got frustrated also because she knew what was wrong but that wasnt her field so she pulled some strings to get us an appointment with an old college friend. He had a battery of test done and the NLVD was the verdict. That dr gave up plenty of reading and info to help him. You are right he is very smart and sometimes has a hard time associating with kids his age. He is more comfortable talking to adults. It is funny to watch him try to solve something when he is playing...he will look at it from all angles and then try a few things but eventually get its. The biggest breakthrough though was him understanding whats going on and how to control it. He has come along way in less than 2 yrs
Jay we used the Marcus Institute here in Atlanta...no sure where you are or if the office just a local place.
