[QUOTE="forkeeps251, post: 519364, member: 12854"] His diagnosis was done by a (phD level) psychologist at a large children's hospital. In it they did say to monitor for possible Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)... so that is something that we have considered having him tested for sooner rather than later. I've had a few people say "He doesn't seem to be on the spectrum" and an equal number say "He does have a lot of the signs"... so I don't really know what to think now. Other than getting him another evaluation. The one that he has was just two appointments, one was an hour long, the other one was several hours. He has had SOME evaluations from a Speech Language Pathologist (SLP), at least in the school setting. He is and always has been speech delayed. As far as an Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation, that is something that we plan on doing soon, but insurance doesn't cover that. I'm 100% convinced that he has some sensory issues with sound/loud noises. They've figured this out at school and he goes (voluntarily) to sit in the office with the office staff when they have big school wide assembly's and stuff. I need to look more into a neuropsychologist evaluation. Based one cost, I'm not sure if we could afford to have one done if insurance doesn't cover it. How does that differ from what he had done before with a psychologist? At this point he has an appointment next week with a psychiatrist to see about ADHD medications. I'm very interested to see what happens with that. I'm hoping the behaviors that are getting him into a lot of trouble are going to lessen. He is very aggressive/physical/violent at school. We don't see this as much at home. Our appointment was supposed to be last week but it got delayed due to screw up by the scheduling staff at the office. Buddy - I'm going to look into that, but I have no idea what that is. Can they just keep sending him home like this? I would have to go back and see how many times he has been sent home but it is probably pretty close to 10. Quitting my job isn't an option, I'm the main breadwinner, besides that we need both incomes. They other option is pulling him out of school or enrolling him in "alternative" school. But I can't keep taking off at a moments notice from work when he misbehaves, or I'll end up without a job! [/QUOTE]
