[QUOTE="nvts, post: 115597, member: 3814"] Hi! First of all, ADHD is a blanket in this case. I know and understand your frustration. What you need to do is see the neuropsychologist in Feb. and explain what's gone on over the years. Just because he's 16 doesn't mean he can't be helped. There are things you can do now. Check with your local Department of Disabilities for Social Skills Classes. See if there are any local organizations for autism or "Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)'s" (autistic spectrum disorders). Some will start him prior to an official diagnosis, others will have you wait. Either way, it will be a little more info. that will help you once he has a diagnosis. For quicky social skills ideas, check on Carol Gray's books (they're kind of basic for you, but it can give you ground to start with). She writes Social Stories, that basically allow you to write a scripted scenario that he may be faced with. Last, breathe. You've been researching for over 8 years. You're almost where you need to be. What's 1 more month? Thinking of you and yours, Beth [/QUOTE]
