[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 685261, member: 1550"] My son saw a neuropsycologist who was trained well to asses him, a teen who had been exposed to drugs pre-birth. He did testing, not talking to him. He felt the pre natal drugs pre birth were very important and caused neurological damage and autism. He wrote a report that guaranteed Sonic would get adult services. He understood the sometimes hard-to-detect differences in his thinking and how it affected him. Honestly, even Sonics psychiatrist did not do his degree of testing. He didnt test at all really and misdiagnosed him. I would think just knowing your child was exposed to alcohol and drugs in utero would give your professionals a clue. This affects our childrens brains!! I had Sonics assesdment when he was about to graduate so that he did not fall through the cracks like so many. Maybe it would help if you got a fresh neuropsychological evaluation. Make sure its a good one who understands the damage caused by alcohol and drug use in utero. We had zilch trouble getting Sonics services continued. Its a matter of what somebody like a neuropsychologist says, and should not be what OUR kids say. Sonic would have said he was fine too. Sonics growth and function has improved drastically due to his services. He is actually functioning so well that he has exceeded all expectations as a working, independent living, kind, beloved young adult. He even socializes pretty well now, at least with people he has known for a while. [/QUOTE]
