[QUOTE="buddy, post: 513295, member: 12886"] NOT saying this IS the case, but for sake of what many have experienced, kids with ADHD, Asperger's, Autism (high functioning), Bipolar etc... MANY can easily also meet criteria for ODD and some for CD. Kids with Asperger's or as IC said, even those who are more "not otherwise specified" just have traits of Autism-like things, may have the parts that include not being able to fully see how other people feel and not able to relate to the fact that their actions have an impact on others. The world revolves around them not because they FEEL entitled, but because they are wired that way. I know two and have met a few other people who are functioning adults (have families and jobs) who finally after years of struggling through school and family drama, being "treated" for behavior problems ended up with a diagnosis of Asperger's. (my friend's hubby got a diagnosis of Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified....he would discuss the same topics every time we had a get together and it was very self serving, but not mean.... so for example would talk about his salary and then go around and ask everyone how much they made etc....a few less mature friends would behind his back imitate him because it was so predictable. My friend was ready to have an affair, he was so selfish in private moments if you know what I mean. They ARE together now....they have worked out a way to live with this and have two grown successful kids). Again, not saying this is your case but I can see how on this board, given what we all have shared and having even members here have kids later diagnosis with some form of autism after years of another diagnosis (usually more behaviorally based label but some with a mood/chemically based diagnosis)..... I can see how the question would arise. So it is truly not doubting your experience or conclusions....(we only get a small picture of each other here after all), but simply to offer an option or to open other therapeutic doors...just in case. OH by the way, my personal bias.... IQ tests... not thrilled with them BUT that said... what would be more beneficial in my world (planning for kids and helping to develop goals etc...) is the patterns of strengths versus relative weaknesses (he is probably not WEAK in ANY area...but meaning is he more of a visual versus an auditory learner etc.).
