[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 37791, member: 831"] I'm in the middle of neuropsychologist testing with Son. Two hours so far. Next week, she's going to try 6 hours with many breaks. She's new in private practice, but used with work at a very well known university children's hospital. She was also recommended by the Neurologist I took Son to recently. I'm paying for this out of pocket. 3 grand. Ouch. But, in order to get a neuropsychologist through the children's hospital I would have to wait a 6 to 10 months for an appointment I only had to wait a couple of weeks.Then, a year to hear the results. So, I decided to suck it up and pay. No vacation this summer, but oh well! Hopefully, we will have the results before summer. I'm especially concerned because he will be starting middle school. The last time son had an IQ test he tested at an 85. Borderline. This was before medications. I know that he's higher than that, but has so many issues when it comes to taking any sort of test. neuropsychologist, and SD, are going to retest him. neuropsychologist says she is beginning to see some strengths and weaknesses. So, we shall see. Aspie has been batted around. But, the social skills have always been the defining factor that exludes him. He's outgoing. Actually, too much outgoing to the point that it is inappropriate and even dangerous. It drives me up the wall, but difficult child just doesn't get it. neuropsychologist and Neurologist says that doesn't necessarily rule out AS, but let's get the results first. Son is also prone to the hysterical laughing too. And he has no imagination. If he has to write a short paper, I have to lead him step by step. He struggles to come up with anything on his own. But, if asked about himself, Son would have gladly shared about himself. He loves to be the center of attention. Sounds like you handled the KFC situation well. I know son would have been very upset and would have gone on and on about it. Second opinions are generally a good to get when you can. I look at it as being one more source of information because ultimately I make the decisions. [/QUOTE]
