[QUOTE="buddy, post: 542441, member: 12886"] I hope you get good info. I have a bias to be cautious when looking at personality inventories or other general tests like even IQ tests....when there are brain wiring differences like Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE)/fasd, genetic conditions etc....I just look at the results as pieces of the puzzle. Knowing there is an issue with empathy for example is great but how we work on it will depend on underlying factors. My q for example wont be able to really change behavior from talking about feelings and behaviors alone. Knowing if there is a source of cognitive learning challenge. If there is an issue with the brain being able to access stored information consistently or if their learning style is rigid and more visual ....or any of a million wiring issues ...all could influence the validity and more importantly the methods for working on the problems. From things you have said and his behaviors ....I'd wonder especially given you are thinking of spending a huge amount of moola on treatment options , do you think an updated neuropsychology and neurological exam would be worth adding to the information pile? Or has he recently had that already? I don't mean to add to an already overwhelming schedule. I was just thinking you are at such a critical point and difficult child is cooperating with assessment, could be a golden opportunity to get a clearer picture of his learning style /limits /differences, etc. Just a thought but I know it's overwhelming. I wish there were easy answers that would lead to a definitive treatment program! Hugs and huge wishes for insight and help coming from your results meeting! Let us know how it goes if you're up to it. [/QUOTE]
