[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 147846, member: 1550"] Hi there. I'm really sorry about your father. Such a horrible way to lose a loved one. I'm going to bring up the "A" word. You can't know an Aspie by watching other Aspies because they are so different. But it could be something else. I'm sorry you were turned down for a neuropsychologist evaluation. That's really the best kind. Maybe your therapist can help make a case for you getting one for your child as this type of testing goes way beyond just therapy. I would talk to him and see if he's willing. If he is like your father, in my opinion, it's more than ADHD and he really isn't qualified to diagnose. Sometimes Psychiatarists (with the MD) can tell the difference between psychiatric and neurological problems, but sometimes they can't. Still, if you can see one, in my opinion, that's better than just relying on a therapist. I have a grown son who sounds a bit like yours. He did have friends (although less when he got older) and was very bright, but didn't try hard in school. He had high anxiety and had to drop out of college. He had serious Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) issues when he turned nineteen as in he had to count people's words, so he couldn't really listen to what they were saying. Although he is diagnosed with a mood disorder and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), I think he could be a tad of an Aspie. He is better than he was when younger, but still on medication (see his profile below). I wish we'd had NeuroPsychs when he was little. He has developed empathy, however, as a child, I didn't see the proper empathy in him a lot of the time. To make you feel better, he's a great hub and doting father now, but he still has his issues. Others will come along. Welcome. [/QUOTE]
