[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 330408, member: 84"] My opinion? If difficult child has not previously seen a neurologist to rule out anything specifically neuro going on.....it most likely isn't a bad idea to have that done. Then at least you will have no more worries in that area. My son Travis with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) was treated by a neuro for his Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) tourettes and epilepsy. The neuro specialized with the autism spectrum. Since autism spectrum tends to be neurobiological in nature (regardless of cause) in my opinion it's just not a bad idea to have them checked out in that area to be certain nothing is being overlooked. And with difficult child having some issues with fine motor skills....well, if it were my difficult child I'd have to have it checked. Each kid on the spectrum is unique. Travis did not do well on medications. So we found other ways to deal with his issues. He didn't seem to do worse because we chose not to medicate. We just had to be creative. Hugs [/QUOTE]
