[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 410329, member: 1550"] Well, he is 17 and has learned to modify a lot of his behavior. For example, the neuropsychologist asked him about eye contact, which he struggles with but was really doing a good job with. He said, "I try to do it, but it's hard." He said "Is it uncomfortable?" Sonic said, "Yes." My son has learned how to appear quite typical when he has to, although neuropsychologist asked questions of him that lead me to believe he believes Sonic is a spectrum kid. We go back in two weeks for the results and the results are not only based on the tests. They are just one in a part of an overall assessment which lasted from 9-3. We are trying to assess his future plus get a diagnosis so he can obtain social security and to weigh whether or not to go for guardianship (which Sonic would be fine with). Thanks for the explanation of the tests! Without the outside assessments, I can't see how they can diagnose any child, but together as a cog in a system, I can see now how they COULD be useful.
