[QUOTE="Firefly2, post: 607325, member: 16651"] Thanks so much-I can't tell you how much I appreciate how you, and others, take time from your day to help others! My 8 year old has never seen a neuropsychologist. He had testing done by our family counselor 2 years ago (lots of paperwork) and it said dysthemia and ADHD. We are seeing a psychiatric. nurse practitioner, a counselor, and he is getting Occupational Therapist (OT) therapy for sensory processing disorder (SPD). We are spending lots of money, and that's ok. But, to see someone else and pay for testing...I don't know how we would pay for it. He has minimal issues at school, so the school cannot/will not do any testing on him. His counselor suggested psychological testing, and he said it cost about $1500. I don't really know what to do-I really don't. The medication seemed to be helping a lot, but lately it is not. It is hard to imagine my boys having autism-they don't show most of the signs. But, something is going on-and I can't put my finger on it. I have considered aspergers with my 8 year old, but then he shows signs of bipolar also, I don't know. My 2 (almost 3) year old shows lots of the same symptoms as his brother, but away from the house (away from me) he is much better. Hard to NOT think it is my fault. I definitely need to thin out our pet herd-lol. My 8 year old had dirty hamster shavings all over his carpet today (LOTS of it) because he was digging in the cage trying to find them. Sure enough-the hamsters have escaped, his room is a mess, I lost my temper, and we found one of them but not the other. I imagine one of the 5 cats will find it. I need to take care of myself-there is no time for that. Every day I feel like I am going through the motions, and can't wait to go to bed at night. So I have to simplify! [/QUOTE]
