[QUOTE="CCRmama, post: 374156"] Thank you for all of the tips! My younger brother has aspergers syndrome and I have considered it a possibility for my difficult child. Where would I go to or who do I talk to about getting the neuropsychologist evaluation? His pediatrician thinks I am just being over dramatic. I think because I am younger she doesn't take me seriously. I think I am just trying to be very pro active about it. My parents tried to make my brother understand them and then a couple of years after he was diagnosed with aspergers they tried to say that he " out grew" it! My heart breaks for my brother because I feel like my parents robbed him of the opportunity at a better life by denying him help. I feel like I am isolated from everyone to try and protect my son. He was going to group once a week where he got together with other kids with similar difficulties and a counselor would help guide them to get a long and work together. He also met with a counselor at our house once a week for individual help and once a week with a psychiatrist to see how he was improving. His group was canceled though due to lack of funding. It only gets worse from there. As I had mentioned he has started lying quite a bit. Well recently he started pinching his privates a lot and out of concern I asked him if anyone had touched him down there and he at first said that my sister had and then that my father had! I knew that he was lying because he had never even been alone in a room with my sister and he was just saying the first person that he thought of. Out of concern I told my husband about this. During once of my difficult child's meetings with his counselor my husband mentioned this to the counselor trying to inform her of how his lying has gotten out of control, well my husband didn't take into consideration that the counselor is a state employee and is legally obligated to report such accusations whether we believed they were true or not.We ended up having to talk to a CPS worker and allow our difficult child to be interviewed by a professional before they would drop everything. While I understand that they were just doing there job and trying to protect my difficult child, my mom and dad were understandably upset by all of this.
