[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 468050, member: 1550"] I would get a neuropsychologist evaluation to see if they come up with anything else. He has a laundry list of diagnosis. that probably are all pointing to another diagnosis and there is help if your child gets the labels. Yes, it's a pain, but it's true. How was your child's early development? Did he speak on time? Any speech issues? Does he use toys for imaginative play? Does he know how to relate to his same age peers without driving them crazy? Does he have any unusual quirks such as lip smacking or hand flapping or turning lights on and off? Any obsessive interests or lining up of toys? How does he transition from one activity to another? Are there any neurological or psychiatric problems on either side of his genetic family tree? This includes biological dad, even if your child has never met him. He is still 50% of his DNA! Now about YOU because you matter too. If you're not in good shape, you won't be able to help anybody else. Do you see anyone for stress? Any medications? Do you have any relatives or friends who help you? Are you on social security? You need to find a way to take care of yourself and get breaks, even if it's just a bubblebath with a good book (my favorite) :) You MUST be good to yourself every chance you have. [/QUOTE]
