Ugh

Dear friends, I ask for your prayers on our behalf once again.
It is becoming increasingly evident that we are needing to step up our search for more help with our son. This is such a frustrating process (especially as a believer) because it is so difficult to sift through all the people, the "experts" that are out there. Our OT (occupational therapist) is encouraging us to seek the help of a behavioral psychologist who specializes in ASD. This doesn't necessarily imply a BF Skinner behaviorism-type approach, for those of you who know what that means. It would ideally be someone who could help us decipher the dynamics of our son's particular behavior given his diagnosis. I don't want someone to throw some theory or approach at us. I just want someone who understands autism and is willing to sit down with us and help us discern our son's motivations and needs and then give us the tools to work with him to help us all be successful.
I am personally torn in regards to the field of psychology. Those of you who have known me for a considerable amount of time know that I hold an associate's degree in Human Services, with most of my training in the area of psychology. I was also just short of my bachelor's degree in psychology/criminal justice when life changed and I ceased attending college. Recent influences in my spiritual life have led to a sort of "reasonable doubt" in my conclusions regarding psychology as a whole, however. And now I'm left unsure of just what I believe -- and frustrated by the fact that I don't have the personal time and resources to figure it out. Yet, here I am trying to determine where to turn to help my son -- and my increasingly messed up family.
Please pray for wisdom for my husband and me as we tackle this issue. Pray that we would have the time to even talk about it together. Pray, too, that I will discipline myself to be more spiritually prepared to battle the cancerous despair that stalks me every day.
Thank you to all of you who serve as a constant source of encouragement to me, even in just reading what I share here. As always, I will keep you posted.
