[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 564176, member: 14557"] Malika, I think J is one of those kids that you simply can't know in this point what, if anything diagnosable, he does have. He is still so young that there are only some clear cut things you can say for sure he doesn't have. He doesn't have classic autism, he doesn't have mental retardation and so on. It seems that he does have something different but because they all look so much the same at that age and kids change so quickly it is impossible to tell what it is. In some places they would throw him several diagnoses and then look what would stick in later age. Other way to do it is not give anything and look what it turns out to be. Or give describing 'diagnose' of his current issues (for example hyperactive or sensory seeking or something.) What they do depends on local practises and what is needed to get services a kid needs. In this point of time one can probably safely say that J is a little bit different child. When he grows older and environment begins to put more press on him it may become more clear what it exactly is. Or he may even grow out of it. Or he may end up like my difficult child with whom the 'not quite neurotypical' in my sig is still the best way to describe it. Just now you can really only wait and see and try things that could help with his current challenges. I can't say my kid would be a success story; the 'PTSD' in my sig bothers the heck out of me, it shouldn't had happened. But then again I still don't know what I could had done to make it any better. I can't remember have you tried to pursue occupational therapy for J? And would that be possible. At least with my difficult child it did help a lot with him when he was around J's age even though there was no diagnose, just descriptions of his difficulties. His Occupational Therapist (OT) was able to address those difficulties without knowing what diagnose, if any, was behind them. [/QUOTE]
