[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 565874, member: 11791"] You need a neuropsychologist, not a neurologist.... She rxed risperidone with only a 15-min appointment? Gaaa!!! He needs a comprehensive evaluation. This is about way more than the tics... and risperidone is a pretty heavy duty medication. Have you done a private Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation? We had to go that way initially. An Occupational Therapist (OT) can evaluate for sensory and for motor skills issues. The report the Occupational Therapist (OT) provides can be a catalyst for other services (esp. if the Occupational Therapist (OT) notices things that are "not neuotypical"), and will be used by other evaluators. Plus... the Occupational Therapist (OT) has therapies and interventions and accommodations that work. So in the mean time, at least you could be making progress on one front. Does ADHD run in the family? MI? other stuff? There's often a genetic component, and that also can be a catalyst. [/QUOTE]
