[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 148040, member: 1233"] I am so sorry, I cannot even imagine the pain you are enduring. The loss of a parent, then the similar comments on the report cards are 2 stunning blows almost at the same time. What we know about Aspergers is growing by leaps and bounds. You are able to find info ONLINE about almost anything, when ONLINE didn't exist when your father was in elementary school! In reading the assessments, Aspie is what came to my mind. I am not an expert (I don't even play one on tv) and am thoroughly unqualified to make diagnosis of any kind. I would wonder if your son's seizures are controlled. Partial seizures can create a wide range of symptoms and behaviors. You have access to so many kinds of help for your son. What name they put on it only matters if it changes the treatment (they could tell me my son was pregnant if it would result in him getting whatever help needs, but that is just my belief.). If you need help appealing the neuropsychologist evaluation denial, the Insurance forum is incredibly helpful. The way you describe your son is very similar to what many describe Aspergers as. But it could also be seizure related or something else. Please don't rule out Aspie with-o some very in-depth testing. But don't automatically assume his behaviors are because he is the "bad" kid. MANY things can contribute to his behaviors. I hope he is seeing a pediatric neurologist. We only had my so-called ADHD inattentive-type daughter tested by a pediatrician neuro because things I learned here. And she is NOT any kind of ADHD, she has Absence Epilepsy. There is a LOT more to diagnosing the problems our kids have than we know. BUT if your mommy-instincts or gut instincts tell you a diagnosis is wrong, then follow up to see what is going on. A diagnosis of Aspergers can open up a WORLD of help - psychiatric, therapeautic, and even finanacial. Please be gentle with yourself right now, you have had some very traumatic events. [/QUOTE]
