[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 114841, member: 2423"] You're looking for a neuropsychologist, NOT a neuropsychiatrist. Children's and university teaching hospitals are good places to start your search. However, because your difficult child has a medical condition with a possible psychiatric overlay, you might do better with a multicisiplinary evaluation, also found at children's and university teaching hospitals. The multidisciplinary team is likely to have a neuropsychologist on board. For sensory issues, you should take your son for an Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation (although a multisciplinary team might have one on board -- you'd need to ask). Another type of professional who may be able to help you is a behavioral neurologist. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
