[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 59401, member: 1550"] Has your child ever been tested for Aspergers or Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified? I If you mean he doesn't communicate well, I'd go the neuropsychologist route. They do very intensive testing and can spot issues that other professionals tend to miss. in my opinion, I'd skip the talk therapist until you know what you're dealing with. A Child Psychiatrist as a second opinion would also be good, in my opinion. Kids on the Spectrum often can't connect well with behavioral therapists and they need a different type of parenting anyways as they are "quirky" thinkers. Often it's hard to get that Aspergers diagnosis too, but it becomes more obvious when they get older. I'm not saying he has it, but he certainly has symptoms and I'd want him checked out again by a fresh pair of eyes. Welcome [img]:smile:[/img] [/QUOTE]
