Her pediatrician is not a great resource, perhaps, because she thinks DD is just bright and delightful and no problem at all. (She's never seen the behavior we see.) But I guess I can ask.
Our pediatrician had also never seen the behaviors we were concerned about with our ds - in fact, the first time around in 2nd grade when we called for a referral he didn't require that we make an office visit to get the referral. What we did was to call (or fax) in a request explaining the behaviors we were concerned about, when/where they were happening, the causes that we could see of stress in ds' life (school issues), and how they were significantly impacting his life. We asked the dr for the type of professional he recommended we see and for names of the professionals he would suggest.
So it's worth a try at least even though the ped hasn't seen the behaviors.
