[QUOTE="SamuelsMa, post: 264016, member: 7197"] I am so sorry I disappeared! I was waiting for my message to get approved and didn't stop back. Ok, I'll try to answer some questions asked of me. He was diagnosed by the psychologist per the DSM manual. She's been seeing him since 7/08. I don't know what other kind of testing there would be. Family history: I did have postpartem depression after his birth. Took prozac and was fine. I was on it for a couple years as I did battle some depression in my teen years. My father's entire side of the family all have some sort of mental illness-bipolar (his sister) and most are undiagnosed self medicating with drugs or alcohol. We did go to the neuro appointment 2 days ago and it was such a waste of time. He told us this is a complicated case and said to go find a psychiatrist. 4 hours in the car to a big name kids hospital and that's all I got. I'm so irritated. As far as diet, I haven't been stringent with it, but I have cut down on dyes. I haven't removed anything else from his diet. Delays-I took him to the child study team at 3.5 years old and they didn't see any delays, but they were there. Speech in particular. He is still in speech therapy as he may seem to understand what is being said, but doesn't always-especially non-literal language. He is in Special Education for math and has an aide most of the day, but especially for reading. Geez, hope I covered everything. Please, any advice or questions, ask away! Thanks!! [/QUOTE]
