[QUOTE="Stephmanietta, post: 537907, member: 14838"] I am in the US, NW Florida, but just resently moved from Southern California. He was seem by Loma Linda pediatrician Neurology. I havent been in Florida long, and my youngest son has recenly started having seizures so I have been pre-ocuppied with that. I suspect similar problems in my younger son, he shows alot of the same behaviours and lack of attenetion span. Severe Hyperactivity, and complete recklesness. Although now with the seizures I am not sure. Had an EEG that was abnormal and still awaiting results of MRI. I tried the Family Dr that handled the referrals for my little guy, but he just wants to send him to the Mental Health Dept. says that Neuro doesnt handle behavioural issues, and since they never properly assessed him for other things he just had a diagnosis of behavioural, and Dev Del. I have no idea about a NueroPhyciatrist. I was told a Developmental Pediatrician would be my best bet. But I dont thing they are going to be any more help. He needs a very thuro medical exam, not a therapist. He is delayed in every aspect of his life. They phyciatrist that I took him to last year told me that I needed to get used to the idea that he may never be a productive member of sociaty and will most likely need to live with me and be cared for his whole life......But still could not tell me what was going on with him. Told me to take him back to neuro and try to get them to do an EEG...They didnt find cause for one so I was back at square one. [/QUOTE]
