[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 215949, member: 1991"] Numina, you should be able to access a neuropsychologist assessment in Europe. Until recently I didn't think we could in Australia; I've found we can, I'm still trying to track it down. As for cuddly - that can also happen in Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD). These kids used to be considered cold - they're not. They often show emotions differently, but they feel emotions very intensely. My two middle kids were VERY cuddly, to a fault. difficult child 1 would cling like a koala, I would get asked if he was feeling sick because of how he would cuddle in. easy child 2/difficult child 2 was much more outgoing but always wanted a hug or cuddle, often at the most inconvenient times. I describe her in my sig as a cuddlebunny. We had to work hard to teach her how to be more appropriate with her cuddles. difficult child 3 was cuddly until he started school and had to be taught to NOT cuddle his teachers! Apparently they can get into trouble if they cuddle the students... sad, really. If you're not happy, get a GOOD second opinion. neuropsychologist is the best, from what I've heard. You are the parent, you know your child. Did we suggest the Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) questionnaire on [url]www.childbrain.com?[/url] It's got some good guidelines on exactly how to interpret each question. Of course it's not official, it's just something to give you a better understanding. But you can print the results and take them to your child's doctor to discuss it, have the doctor explain to you WHY the Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) label has been thrown in to the mix. If the Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) diagnosis stands, don't feel too bad. We were given a very pessimistic prognosis for difficult child 3 but between our own persistent child and our efforts on his behalf, he's doing brilliantly. Few people these days see anything unusual. Marg [/QUOTE]
