油麻地兒童精神科

請問最近有沒有媽咪帶小朋友睇症,程序及須注意事項為何?請指教！

I have visited with my son this Monday.  It's their clinical psychologist who met us rather than a psychiatrist.  She claimed she knew autism better than psychiatrists.

The process is quite straightforward, simply Q&A on the kid's behaviour, quite repetitive to what had been asked in CAC.  No ability test or actual assessment on the kid.  In addition, there's a university psychology student help asking questions.

To me, those questions are very superficial to us parents who had already combating autism problems for a certain time.  While the psychologist kept saying they had no resources to help as long as we already had government services, it's OK to take this as a backup service.  The next consultation will be June.

It seems this exercise is just for their record keeping and student training, I don't see any instant benfefit to our kids.  But no harm to go as it might be helpful some day, who knows?

Thanks for your reply.

I already heard that the visit might be no instant benefit but no harm to do it.
