[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 581178, member: 1514"] I never caught my aspie kid until he was an adult so I cant speak on that part but if your son isnt an aspie it obviously wouldnt hurt him to lose the label if he doesnt have it. I really think he needs another evaluation. I would get an eye doctor to check his eyes because I have known several kids who have eyes who do that and it is a muscle in their eyes that cause that. It doesnt happen all the time but can be fixed. It doesnt have to be a stimulant. As far as the other stuff. My aspie son was labeled his entire life in school as learning disabled but academically gifted. He was smart as a whip. I would really get your son retested as far as if he does have some forms of learning disabilities and what his accurate IQ is and how that spread is throughout the test. If the school gives you grief about doing the testing again so soon, I would point out that he was tested at a very young age and he most likely wasnt very cooperative at the time. Now that he is in school, he will probably give a more accurate picture. If the school refuses to do it, then see if you cant convince your insurance company to cover a multi-evaluation at a children's hospital. I have a feeling you will find some interesting things about his abilities in school. Now as far as behaviors with the attachments I dont know. I dont know enough about your adoption and what went on there to give you any sort of intelligent answers there. I am not an adoptive parent so anything I said would be moot. I wish you all the luck in the world. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
