DeeDee, Thank you for your response. I was concerned about this psychiatrist's experience from the beginning. I asked my psychiatrist if she understood giftedness. His answer was that she had lived in VA/DC area where they have lots of smart people. Okay then. I am sure she's an expert.
Unfortunately, we have little choice in mental health professionals.
I hope you know what a valuable resource on this board to those of us with 2E kids, especially in these types of grey situations where the issues are really but it is hard to know how to address and advocate. Thank you for your patience. I know that you were here for me about 3 years ago when this issue came up previously. At that point, the therapist she was seeing felt that it was more introversion and some mal-adapive behaviors. We have since moved states and haven't seen anyone in almost 2 years. We are finally getting a new therapist, which she sees next week. We'll see how it goes.
