[QUOTE="buddy, post: 588296, member: 12886"] They really said that's all the testing they can do? I have a hard time believing that France does not have an equivalent for every test the USA has. There are emotional rating scales, adaptive behavior scales (that I'd what I think could give you some interesting information) problem solving protocols, gosh, tons of things..... Quin scores borderline average on IQ tests but his adaptive scales (how they function in real life) are super low in most areas. I bet in j's case there could be some interesting strengths and weaknesses that could help guide areas to develop under it all. I hear you though, where then do you get someone who can help you work on those things? Have you ever done the skills assessment in the explosive child? No is such a strong trigger for lots of explosive kids. Why that is so varies out seems. Black and white thinking not able to problem solve Stuck in an idea and can't shift their thinking Emotional reasons On, and on.... I think too sometimes they vary...they can handle no if overall they are in a good place but if it is the last straw? He might have used up all of his reserve dealing so well with all of the other changes in his day. My adhd nephew was very explosive when younger too. Was the sweetest most caring boy (still is) when he was overall on balance. Being thirsty threw everything off. So did changes in schedules, some textures, certain clothes (no jeans, no long sleeve shirts). He is for sure not on the spectrum. Has no narrow interests, no repetitive mannerisms, no social problems ever, but for sure adhd and mild sensory processing disorder (SPD). He really has matured but is still impulsive and he scares me the most of our kids for abuse of drugs. He is soooo supervised now because he has already been busted trying pot. Too bad so sad dude! J is very lucky to have you. I hope after talking to you the neuropsychologist will add protocols that can help give you more insight as to what out going on. What kinds of therapies? True sensory integration therapy if that's an issue. Social skills sessions at his level, feelings work....monitoring his"engine" and learning what to do to keep it at a certain level (they are taught that in kids terms, using visuals etc).. There are many young child strategies to help them start to develop internal control. I hope you find such a place! [/QUOTE]
