[QUOTE="brandyf, post: 84827, member: 4110"] thanks so much for all the info. those websites are awesome. honestly i have no idea what he has...but i know its not normal. lol...even tho its not funny at all. 1/Do you have any mood disorders or substance abuse on either side of the family tree? ANY psychiatric disorders? yes... my mother and my entire side of the tree are alcoholics. my father i sware is bipolar, but too back-woods to ever care. i'm not normal by any means, have never been diagnosed, but i am not normal. i had a super horrible childhood and not much contact with family. husband on the other hand, had and still has a great family. he was always in trouble starting real early with vandelizing, stealing, lying..those types of things. 2/How was his early development? Speech or motor delays? Good eye cotact? Is he appropriate with his peers, does he know how to play with toys? Was he VERY precocious (strangely, this can mean the same as being delayed). Fixated on numbers and letters? early development was difficult. he was always very angry, biting, hitting...tantrums.. no speech or motor delays, he is actually advanced in those areas. he does bike and skateboarding tricks that 9-12 year old kids on my street cant do. eye contact???? not sure. i believe he was fine.. not appropriate with peers, he is better as a 6year old however. when he was a toddler, i wouldnt leave him in a room wtih another child ever. he has never really been into toys. he likes puzzles, baseball cards, marbles, fake money, things he can count and keep track of. he is still that way today, but he is very athletic as well. numbers and letters??? only now that he is really into reading..he likes to make up new words adn try to spell them. that sort of thing. 3/Has he ever had an in-dept evaluation outside of school? he has not been evaluated in school ever, nor have they mentioned it. The only evaluation we have had was 1.5 years ago, for 3 months once a week for an hour we went to teh psychologist. we basically all learned parenting skills and different ways to handle andrew, he was taught some coping skills...which really done nothing. the parenting skills was good tho. he really responded to praising and our behavior chart, reward box... its kind of crazy to type it all out adn then re-read...wow.,,, anyway..i guess i wil call my ins company and see about teh neuropsychologist evaluation. thanks for all your help. let me know if you get anything out of his history..i would appreciate it.
