[QUOTE="Elise N. T., post: 120131, member: 1495"] The meeting went well. They were trying to say (without actually saying it) that he might have autism/aspergers/Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and should be evaluated further. They're especially worried about the lack of social interaction and how he gets obsessive about interests. They are going to call his doctor and explain their concerns. I made an appointment for Friday morning to talk to his doctor myself, and I'm going to ask for an evaluation. The counselor said there is a new place she just heard about that does full testing but she thinks they only take private insurance. She's going to check and let me know. There was also some suggestion of the local children's hospital which does a five week inpatient program. They said it's usually for kids with behavior issues though (which they don't see and I do). I'm torn about that idea. I really can't see myself taking him somewhere like that - he would be scared! - but on the other hand it would be nice to get his medications straightened out and find out what's going on with him. There was some suggestion when he was in preschool that he could have high-functioning autism. However, when I pushed his teacher on it to talk to his doctor she decided he was doing better and wasn't really having problems anymore. [/QUOTE]
