[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 240211, member: 1550"] Hi there and wecome. Rather than looking just at epilepsy, he may have other disorders causing his behaviors too (doesn't mean he doesn't have epilespy, but in my opinion it's probably more than that). I have a few questions. 1/Are there any psychiatric problems OR substance abuse on either side of his family tree? 2/How was his early development? How does he socialize with his peers? Does he make good eye contact? Can he play appropriately with toys? Can he make transitions well? Is he bothered by loud noise/lights/textures? Did he ever regress? Rather than just going to Neurologist root, I'd get a complete, long, indepth neuropsychologist evaluation (this is entirely different from what a neurologist will look for). He will test your son from 6-10 hours and look for any/all problems in all areas, both psychiatric and neurologically and they often find things that others don't. You can find them at Children's and University hospitals and in my opinion they are the best diagnosticians. I personally had rotten luck getting any viable diagnosis and help from school. in my opinion it's better to go to a private diagnostician. Your freind is correct that, to date, there is no way to diagnose why a child is "different" by looking at an x-ray, although some people pay a lot of money for SPECT scans. As of yet, mainstream medicine is not on board that this is helpful. Take care! [/QUOTE]
