Well we met with the neuropsychologist today. Wow! I am just amazed at the written report he gave us for each kid, its like 5 pages long! husband and I both didn't even know what some of the words meant on one!
Here are the new diagnosis:
difficult child 1 (11 yrs):ADHD, Asperger's, Major Depression he put "maybe bipolar"
Behavioral Observations: mood was dysphoric, affect seemed mildly labile? (what is that!?)
Visual Motor Skills he scored in the 18th percentile which put him at a 8 yrs 4 mth age.
difficult child 2 (10 yrs):ADHD, mild mood disorder
difficult child 3 (7 yrs):ADHD, Asperger's, sensory and developmental delays that in his words were "indicative of an austistic spectrum disorder", and he felt some ODD traits as well
He also gave recommendations to the new psychiatrist for types of medications.
Any thoughts? Is this type of report what I should have expected? He wants us to request ARDs for each of the boys at school. I sent the new counselors emails tonight. I don't know what else to do now. We meet with the new psychiatrist Friday again to talk about the medications he gave last week. The sleep medications aren't working for difficult child 1 or 3 at all, up until 3 and get up by 530-6. UUUGHHH!
