[QUOTE="Christy, post: 175540, member: 225"] Thanks MM, You're right it is a journey! What I know about bio-parents is mom is mildly MR (difficult child has average IQ), no history of drugs or alcohol, she did smoke during pregenacy, severe negelect was noted at the time he came into care, no abuse physical or sexual. We had a neuropsychologist last year. Outlined a lot of things we already knew about his executive functioning difficulties, his learning issues, speech and language concerns. We were concerned about autism, particulally Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD), their opinion was that he is not on the autistic spectrum. His diagnosis is bipolar and ADHD. He's been in counseling since we began fostering him. Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) was suspected at one time but his behavior are across the board and not directed specifically at me. He is loving and caring when he is emotionally stable. He see a talk therapist and a behavioral specialist. I would like to have more testing done but really am not sure wher to go next since we've already had a lengthy neuropsychologist where none of the behavior issues surfaced just the learning issues. Thanks for the suggestions. Christy [/QUOTE]
