[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 542894, member: 11791"] Terry. Don't let the process wear YOU down too far, because... difficult child needs you. It IS a long-haul process. Ours took... 10 years of working the "system" to get the right dxes - and we're still in high-intensity mode because you don't fix this stuff overnight. But... the process can literally drive you insane. (hence, my board-name) Personally? Reading your posts (going back a ways), and others' threads... plus my own experience with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) "traits"? My difficult child doesn't meet diagnostic cutoff but definitely has clinically significant traits... and even having THOSE spelled out, helped. (In our case, they are starting to fade, because they weren't really Aspie at all, but the result of extreme fatigue, lack of support, and lack of experience because of the first two...) But the extreme black-and-white thinking - I don't know of anything other than Aspie traits that connects with that one. The rest... may be secondary, may be co-morbid, may be... whatever else. But there IS more going on than a typical teen going off the rails - and you have known that for a while now. Any chance of a comprehensive evaluation? Our latest was PhD-level psychologist who was prepared to really dig. We've also seen good results from the team approach (neuropsychologist isn't an option here). Someone needs to tell you what all the little bits and pieces are. [/QUOTE]
