[QUOTE="Malika, post: 588347, member: 11227"] That's helpful, SuZir, thanks. I always prefer it (and feel somehow more in tune with reality) when people take a broader, more human view of these things! Yes, maybe stuff is going on for J around the move that he is not necessarily talking about or able to talk about. He does occasionally say he wants to stay here (but without much anger or intensity) and asks whether the house will still be ours, whether we will take our things and his toys with us, etc. I have received a reply from the neuro-psychologist. For those who want to practise their French, here it is: Que ce soit ici en france ou aux états unis, le titre de neuropsychologue n'existe pas, nous sommes en fait des psychologues spécialisés en neuropsychologie. Par ce fait nous ne sommes pas que des passeurs de QI et de tests cognitifs. Pour n'importe quelle pathologie, que ce soit TDAH ou autres je recherche également a comprendre la sphère émotionnelle, affective et psychologique de chaque enfant. C'est ce que nous ferons également en plus des tests lorsque vous viendrez me voir, grâce a un entretien détaillé avec vous puis seule avec Jacob. Comme cela ca me permet d'avoir une vision globale des difficultés a la fois sur le versant neuro et psychologique. And for those who don't want to practise their French, here is my translation: "Whether here or in the United States, the title of neuropsychologist does not exist. We are in fact psychologists who have specialised in neuro-psychology and we are therefore more than mere administrators of IQ or cognitive tests. For no matter what pathology, whether ADHD or something else, I also seek to understand the emotional, relational and psychological background for each child. This is what we will do in addition to the tests when you come to see me, through a detailed interview with you and then alone with Jacob, enabling me to gain insight into both the neurological and psychological aspects of the difficulties." Again, any thoughts? PS to confuzzled: Yes, that's interesting. In terms of his English, I have often thought such a thing myself. But his French is absolutely standard and does not contain any of these oddities, so I kind of lean more towards the idea that as I have been basically his sole source of English, he has never ironed out the particular ways he says things. Some of his phrasing is a direct translation of French. As for autism to be or not to be: some people say that ADHD is on the autism spectrum. I can kind of see that, and accept that. But in the standard sense of autism, no, he is clearly not on the spectrum. [/QUOTE]
