[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 430017, member: 1550"] I think you should see a neuropsychologist. Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids can seem very normal at home. The problems begin with strangers and different environments. Inability to express himself, and being anal about the order things are done are other clues. Nobody can test him without interacting with him and administering certain tests. A good neuropsychologist knows how to engage even a very withdrawn child. This does not mean your child is withdrawn, but if he will not speak to this psychologist, then the psychologist can not see for himself what your child is like to assess him. If there are Learning Disability (LD) problems, a neuropsychologist will find them! Also, there is a computer test, the TOVA test, for ADD/ADHD. I took the test once. It is interesting and in my opinion a very good tool for evaluating for ADD/ADHD. The kids think it's a fun game, but it tells the tester A LOT. A neuropsychologist will do the TOVA test. Good luck :) Keep us posted. [/QUOTE]
