Q: how can i sue a healthcare worker for suggesting without any reasonable base that my son has autism.
She is a total stranger, and so it's normal that a 25 month old would not want to cooperate with her. We had to see the speech therapist for my son so that the school would decide whether to take him in to the school. Right as we started the session she asked him to identify objects and assemble pyramid but he did not want to say anything and was ignoring her but in five minutes of me talking to him he started doing everything what she asked him to. I told her that my son can even read but she did not care for it and wrote down in her evaluation that he did not do anything.
I am so angry and wish I could affect her practice in some way as I heard from other friends that she did something similar to their kids. We think she gets money from the referrals to the psychologist. This is all so disgusting. Please help, and thank you!
A: You do not have a case. You agreed that the professional would evaluate your son. She merely reported her opinion.
