[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 122176, member: 1550"] It does help to have that profile because then we get a quick "see" about you and your child. Why don't you want more interventions? I found that the interventions made my son as functional as he is now. I am grateful for all the interventions we got as he has much less now because he had more when he was younger, if that makes sense. Has he ever had a complete evaluation by a neuropsychologist? Especially because he is adopted, with no birth history to look at, I'd want to make that stop. They are very good diagnosticians. How does your son do in school (grade-wise?) Does he know how to make friends? Can he make eye contact? Was his early development good? What kinds of things make him meltdown? With every child we adopted, we got them a complete (and I do mean COMPLETE) evaluation from IQ to LDs to autism screens to psychiatric screens because we wanted to know what was going on. We found out some interesting stuff. My son from Hong Kong had been described in reports as "very intelligent." When he was tested, he was in the "genuis" range (IQ over 160). He is now thirty and indeed brilliant--he is already a computer whiz, part business owner, and a millinaire (however he is also attachment-challenged).But it was good to know that he was so bright because we could gear activities to his busy mind. My Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified child had the most issues because his birthmom abused drugs in utero. He had delays and still has some social/life skills issues yet he is doing so much better than we ever expected. Warning: KIds on the autism spectrum have similiar traits to kids with attachment issues. They often don't like to be touched, don't make good eye contact except when they're comfortable, have sensory issues, tend to obsess and do meltdown. Can you go back to therapy too, since it helped? I'd post on Special Education 101 if you need help regarding school. They are so knowledgeable there. [/QUOTE]
