[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 109437, member: 2423"] Helena, thanks for answering my questions. As you might have gathered from the previous posters, your son did not have a full neuropsychological evaluation. My son's a year ago was 10 hours; my daughter's a few years ago was 8 hours. Neuropsychological evaluations involve lots of tests to assess the cognitive and psychological functioning of the child. The results of the testing point to a diagnosis and offer recommendations for interventions to help the child. While we can't diagnosis over the internet, your son has some red flags -- speech and developmental delays, sensory issues, trouble understanding peer relationships -- that may point to an Autistic Spectrum Disorder. You need to find a competent medical professional to diagnosis your son so he can then get appropriate interventions in school. Many on this board have turned to a "real" neuropsychologist, a developmental pediatrician or a multidisciplinary team for a thorough evaluation. All of these professionals can be found at children's or university teaching hospitals. Since you live in Massachusetts, you may want to head to the Boston area for a good evaluation. I hope that helps. We're here for you if you have more questions or concerns. [/QUOTE]
