[QUOTE="OpenWindow, post: 184301, member: 45"] Midwest Mom - no, they haven't really said why he doesn't get it. Well, one said it's part of severe ADHD. They haven't ruled out thought disorders (my mom had schizophrenia) or autism. They have told me his emotional age is 3-4 years younger than his real age. They say he has rigid thinking. They say he doesn't get social cues. He wants friends but doesn't know how to go about getting them. When he does get friends he loses them because he's overbearing and then gets mad so easily. Terry - it is soooo hard to get a solid diagnosis. Everyone says something different. They all agree on his symptoms, but not what they mean in terms of a diagnosis. I've never been one to care about his label myself, but the autism diagnosis would bring much more services and understanding among school personnel, and now, with DHS. Saying he has ADHD and major depressive disorder just doesn't explain it, in my humble opinion. Thanks Shari. We can use all the prayers we can get. [/QUOTE]
