[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 373687, member: 1550"] His behavior is sort of like my son's when he had the neuropsychologist testing and how he acts toward the neuropsychologist is part of the evaluation. He actually sounds like he could easily be a Spectrum kid. A neuropsychologist is NOT just for testing IQs. They do complete evaluations based on behavior and ability to perform tests of various kinds...I really think the testing was worth it and can't think of any reason not to do it. Everything that was said about the evaluation screams SPECTRUM KID. That's pretty much what my son's report looked like. His main diagnosis. was Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified/high functioning autism. It is common for Spectrum kids to score lower IQs than they actually have. My son's IQ in school was 75, but the neuropsychologist tested him at 107. It took my son several sessions to sort of loosen up to the neuropsychologist...and I mean sort of. [/QUOTE]
