[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 595299, member: 1550"] Hi there and sorry you are going through this. Most neuropsychs are pretty good, but I have to question this one who thinks your son isn't on the spectrum. At any rate, I believe spectrum interventions would help him a lot. Processing problems, which he seems to have, can be treated (and are also common spectrum problems). Social skills, if they are very bad...don't know what to say. Spectrum sounding again, but, as long as the school sees the problem, can they not have somebody work with him on these social skills? How does he act around his peers and how does he try to make friends? How does he act out in class or at home and what are the triggers? Does he have any obsessive interests? Does he have a great, great rote memory yet have trouble understanding abstracts? I am not convinced that retaining children is that helpful. What he really needs is help with his problems so that he can move forward in my opinion. Does your son have an IEP at school? I think he really could use one, if not. Did your son ever have a speech delay and what was he like as an infant and toddler? Was he affectionate? Did he eat well? Does he make good, steady eye contact with you and with strangers? Does he rage and, if so, when? Any sensitivities to foods, material, loud noise, crowds? The very first thing I'd do is to fight to get him the interventions that he needs. in my opinion this kid is not just ADD. I could be wrong. I'm just a mom. But I would probably seek a second opinion if I were you. Why did this neuropsychologist say he isn't on the spectrum? It's a neuropsychologist, right? Not a neurologist? [/QUOTE]
