[QUOTE="welcometowitsend, post: 598103, member: 14356"] Insane - He does have some aspie tendencies. But I guess he wasn't aspie enough for a diagnosis. When we saw the psychiatrist last summer she gave us the DSMIV test for Autism/Aspergers and difficult child tested low in all areas except the intellectual area (really smart, uses big words, that kind of thing). I never thought he was really aspie because he had such a good sense of humour growing up, didn't seem bothered by not having a set schedule, didn't have texture/fabric issues, wasn't ruled by a need for order... but he did have difficulty making friends, he just marched to his own beat, didn't always know how to make a good connection with people and hated crowded loud places. I just chalked those traits up to overlapping with the Tourette's and ADHD. Maybe that's wrong and he is Aspie. It was something I wanted to look into last summer with the psychiatrist but I had to tread carefully because difficult child was terrified of that diagnosis. Based on our answers to the DMV IV test psychiatrist said he definitely was not Aspie. I don't know. At this point I can't even get him to take his medications or go to the doctor so we are at a standstill in making any progress on that front. Hopefully that will change soon. [/QUOTE]
