[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 281813, member: 1233"] He is adopted, correct? What are the odds his biomom stayed totally away from alcohol and drugs during her pregnancy? Has he ever been evaluated for Fetal Alcohol Syndrime or fetal Alcohol effects (Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) and Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE) respectively)??? The Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) does sound like a major contributor to the problems. As for not wanting to pursue a diagnosis with more testing, the psychiatrist is an idiot. Not saying psychiatrist is not good at her job, but she sure doesn't get the insurance system. The diagnosis, or label, is how insurance companies, schools, doctors, etc... all determine what kind of help he can have. I would keep pushing to see if you can get more ideas. Listen to your mommy instincts. They are there to protect your young. I would do some research into Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS)/Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE) and maybe see if there is a clinic in your area that can do evaluations of your difficult child with that in mind.
