[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 229250, member: 3907"] Hello Dave, and welcome! You could be describing my difficult child. The lack of a sense of right and wrong, justifying behaviour "because I really needed to", inappropriate social interactions, buying friends... I agree with others that a neuropsychologist evaluation will provide you with some good and helpful information. A neuropsychologist evaluation is different from a psychiatric one. A NeoruPsych is a psychologist with additionial expertise in brain function. The evaluation is intensive and can take hours, but it can reveal a lot of information that you would not otherwise know, which can lead to a clear diagnosis (diagnosis). The diagnosis is helpful because then you can start getting the right interventions in place for your difficult child. In my case, it took us 12 years to find the right diagnosis. At first we were told ADHD/ODD, then high-functioning autism, then Aspergers. Only in the last 2 years was my difficult child's mood disorder discovered, which has allowed us to give him the right medications and therapy for him. It's a long road, but well worth it. So very glad you found us. Also glad to hear that your wife will be reading and posting as well. It can be very helpful. Trinity [/QUOTE]
