[QUOTE="klmno, post: 185116, member: 3699"] You did good! Stick to your plan- I'm a little worried how this is going to go after husband hear all the details. You mentioned before that half the test results are worthless- I thought that too when I had difficult child tested, however, I look at it differently now. Half his tests revealed that he had no problems in those areas, the other half revealed certain things that he was struggling with. There is no way to be sure what those areas are or to what degree difficult child is struggling without those test. So, now I think that none of them were a waste. I know many of us have had different experiences with the different types of professionals, and I think part of that has to do with the issues the child is having and what supports they need. But, this testing can help in many areas. If it turns out that it isn't Aspergers but indicates something else and a different type of professional needs to be consulted, the results will still be important. Personally, I think it might be a combination of things- including starting puberty on top of whatever underlying issue he already had. Listening to my difficult child talk about how hard being 11 yo was for him and a little about him experimenting with sexual "thoughts" leads me to believe that [I]maybe[/I] helping your difficult child wouldn't be as stressful and difficult as getting to the bottom of the problem(s). Hang in there- we all know you are trying. PS There is a possibility that anytime now that sometone calls police for a suspicion of a break-in, a car being touched, something was stolen, etc., in your neighborhood, a policeman might come by to see if you knew where your difficult child was, if he's at home, and ask him some questions. Keep in mind too, even though they didn't arrest him, you can be sure that a report was filed at the police dept. PSS He's probably scared right now about feeling like something is wrong with him- it might not hurt to reassure him that your efforts with testing and getting him help are to prevent things and help him work on stuff, not because "there's something wrong with him"- JMHO!!
