Top 10 Tuesday

Top 10 Reasons to Look for a New Doctor
(particularly in psychiatry)


10. he wears elf slippers and talks baby talk to adolescents

9. asks if your boy/girl twins are identical

8. his standard poodle "therapy dog" humps your leg

7. threatens to charge you a maintenance fee if he can't reprogram the timer on his fish tank (that your child unplugged)

6. suggests botox for your teenager's anxiety

5. wears a 3-piece suede suit in Southern California

4. tells you he learned everything he knows about drugs by using them

3. keeps you waiting 30 minutes then apologizes that he "had a suicide"

2. excuses himself for extended periods of time to a broom closet marked: "Do not Enter"

1. suggests you blog about how great he is






Let me just say that I never tell a lie (who needs to write fiction when real life is so utterly unbelievable).


A word to the wise in the world of autism intervention and treatment: There are always other fish in the sea.

  6. Oh Andrea - if it weren't so pathetic it would be hilarious! Real life can be so entertaining if you don't take it too seriously - thanks for reminding us all of that.
