[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 186478, member: 1550"] I have a few additional questions that could help us. And you may want to do a signature like I did below Frankly, it doesn't like the hospital was that helpful. Believe it or not, it's not uncommon to take your kid out of the hospital and wonder if it even did any good. I recommend a total evaluation from a neuropsychologist. They test far more intesively than any other professional and cut into both psychiatric and neurological problems. Obviously, something is not right with you son and I know you want to know what it is. Now for the questions: 1/How was his early development? Speech? Eye contact? Cuddling? Would he make eye contact with strangers and let them interact with him? Could he interact appropriately with his peers? Can he now? Any strange behaviors, such as hand flapping or head banging or sensitivities to food, sound, light, fabric or certain foods? Can he transition from one activity to another without much anxiety? Is he inflexible, almost frightened when things change? How are his current social skills. Does he seem "out of it" at times and not able to "get it?" Does he understand social cues and life skills? Does he have close friends? 2/ Did ANYONE in his family tree on EITHER side have any psychiatric disorders (this includes his bio. dad's side). You did have some mood issues. Post-partum counts. Any alcohol abuse? Suicide attempts? "Funny" uncles that were just never diagnosed? A neurologist test, or the physical tests they did the the hospital, is NOTHING like a neuropsychologist evaluation and that is my very first, second and last recommendation. It sounds like everyone is missing the boat on your child and that everyone is at wit's end and very frustrated. in my opinion time to try something new to see if the problem can be nailed down, thus the real help begin. It may require interventions rather than medications--or both. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
