[QUOTE="buddy, post: 483348, member: 12886"] Yeah, me too. OK so, there are some things that he does that are not really covered by the ABI and clearly fall in the on the autism spectrum. He was actually diagnosed PDDnos before they found the angioma. It was not emphasized to me because they honestly felt that it was probably that the psychiatrist thought that not knowing the mass was there and once the mass was found he would recover. (dont we wish). But now it seems it was true, not one person thinks anymore his Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) symptoms are really brain injury things, he truly does meet criteria easily for autism, though some things certainly overlap both things.... And if you read that, you see why I just feel like complicating things by adding a million mental health diagnoses just doesn't make sense, unless it would offer better services, but due to the autism and structural nature of this, putting him with EBD kids (more straight mental health or behavior disordered kids) has not worked. IF it did I would be all for it! It is not anything personal, just that my kid provokes them and they influence him too easily. He is so echolalic and perseverative that it just ends up a nightmare. Some of that has happened just from this hospital experience. I certainly have no problem asking them about tourettes, just to see what they say. Do you guys think it would benefit him? I am certainly open if it would. [/QUOTE]
