[QUOTE="SRL, post: 369400, member: 701"] Hi Jensfishing. Welcome to our forum. Could I ask what kind of specialist did the diagnosis and what length of time that diagnostician spent with your child before making this diagnosis? I'm not suggesting it's not correct. I just want to make sure that it was typical of a thorough evaluation. Also as you mention he tests in the cognitive superior range I am wondering what he was like when he was very young. Did he have typical interests of a young child? Obsessions? Anxiety? Has he grown up in a stable family situation? As for giving you hope, never give up hope. Some kids do better, some not as well, but that goes with any diagnosis we see here. What we can tell you is that getting a correct diagnosis and finding appropriate treatments at the earliest possible age increase the chances of positive outcomes. Frankly, with what you're describing to us in terms of the behaviors, diagnosis, and psychologists comments, I'm very surprised that an intensive behavioral modification plan was recommended at home instead of sending him into residential treatment.
