[QUOTE="Steely, post: 32291, member: 3301"] Suzy, I have had all of my son's evaluations, and a hospitilization, done at Childrens here in Dallas. Hands down, they are the best around this area. Maybe a second neuro-psyche evaluation from a neurologist there at Childrens would be helpful, althought sometimes our difficult children never quite fit a label. My son never quite fit the exact diagnosis of AS, but he has about 75% of the characteristics and NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) - and the same thing with his BiPolar (BP) - he did not have one major attribute of the illness (although now, at 16, he does), but he had all of the others. Truthfully, the labels only help in us understanding our difficult children, and with the schools being obligated in getting them the help they need. We have to remember every person is different, and therefore every illness within a person is different, so we cannot use the doctors diagnosis as our reality, necessarily. We, as the parents, have to realize how our child works, label or not, and get them the help they need accordingly. On a side note - I was almost sure 14 point descripancy was an automatic Learning Disability (LD)???? But I could be wrong. For my son, that sort of point difference was when they said he had NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) - but that was ten years ago, and my memory may be failing me. Good luck - and if you need to chat about options in Dallas feel free to PM me. [/QUOTE]
