[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 366272, member: 1550"] Your hub is wrong for worrying more about other people than the problems with his son. It says a lot about him that his son is ten years old and still not diagnosed and that behavioral therapy has been tried for so many years when it's not working...the poor boy needs permission to be who he is and he deserves help. He didn't ask for his disability either. I don't know if your doctor is right or not...he sounds kind of strange not diagnosing. Of course your son's coaches, teachers, etc. should be told and he should see a neuropsychologist for a complete 6-10 hour evaluation. Your son won't change or get better without help and it's getting late in the game. Early intervention (like at 2 or 3) is best. He has some catching up to do. I'm betting this kid is somewhere on the autism spectrum and that lots of time has been wasted (I could be wrong about the diagnosis. of course, b ut not that lots of time has been wasted). However, because of very poor social skills and not caring how he looks to others (the child not the hub) often spectrum kids will act very childish and embarassing in public and not even know ir or care. A neuropsychologist is your best bet. Can't say THAT enough. Denial is not your friend. Or hub's friend. Is he this boy's father? Hub could use therapy. The world is NOT all about him, and he should be thinking of the child, not himself. Good luck! ;) [/QUOTE]
