is it hard to get help?

hi all! heres a question: just how hard has it been to get help for your kids? my husband and i just moved back to Yakima, WA in june. it's a small town in eastern washington state. our son was first dx in Denver. CO. in 2005. we thought it was a slow process because there's over 5 million people there. now that we're here, we're finding that some programs have 6-8 month waiting lists. my son's 5 now, at this rate, he'll be in college by the time we get the help he needs. i was wondering if i'm alone in this or have any of you had the same probs getting help? i see that alot of you have had those doctors who think your crazy, or just seem to not listen to your concerns. i've ran into that everywhere. i'm going crazy with my son because i want whats best for him, and seem to be hitting a wall. i would love to hear your war stories and your finally getting help stories too so i know i'm not alone. maybe i just need encouragement so i don't feel like i'm not doing whats right. i don;t like to sound needy, but some advice would help.thanks!

First off do you have the book "The out-of-sync child" Try looking on the internet for child psycologist. This one lady who saw my son thought we were nuts. He was dx with it at 18months now that he is 4 he has been dx with odd,intermit explosive disorder and is on risperadal for his temper. keep looking around,keep a journal of his behavior.
