[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 216516, member: 1550"] Hi there. I think he should see a neuropsychologist. By a longshot, they do the most intensive testing, usually lasting 6-10 hours and covering every area so you have a really good idea of what is wrong. I'm a layperson, but your son does have both signs of Aspergers syndrome and a mood disorder. I would want to have it all sorted out. My experience is that NeuroPsychs are far better at testing than even Psychiatrists (with the MD) who would be my second recommendation. I think there is way more going on than ADHD, and probably your nephews who are in jail had more going on too. Is your son very rigid in his thinking? Very "black and white?" Does he have any obsessive interets? Trouble changing from one activity to another (or did he ever have that problem?) How are his social skills with his peers? Does he know how to have a give-and-talk conversation or does he either monologue or give short answers: "Yes." "No." "I don't know." You don't want your son's life to turn out that way, and there is hope. I'd schedule a neuropsychologist appointment. Welcome to the board :) [/QUOTE]
