[QUOTE="Adizziedoll, post: 349042, member: 5436"] Thanks guys! So I looked up the neuropsychologist, realized that none of them take insurance and are expensive. Did any of you find that insurance will reimburse? I understand the importance, because if it is something like BiPolar (BP) or something else that he just really needs medications for, then obviously that needs to be known. I don't want to doom him forever by putting him on medication if he doesn't need it, but it would be worse if he really needs it and I don't get him the help. My first instict for awhile now was BiPolar (BP) actually. The psychiatric told me they got rid of the diagnosis for young children? Or the testing? Something. It's interesting that your child has the same problem with wiping after going number 2, and she's almost nine. He actually didn't start sucking his thumb until he was around 4 years old. I just can't get him to stop, I believe it calms him down if he's in a manic state, angry, ect. He wasn't really delayed in any of his speech or walking either. HE was an extremely fussy baby however and just couldn't be put down. He hasn't slept a full nights of sleep since he was born. He had a bad case of GERD, and always complains of tummy aches or his limbs hurting. He does say to me "My brain doesn't work right" or the "bad guy is inside me", and he also has this "invisible brother" that he has wierd ideas about death with, and will blame things on. Nothing is his fault. He trips, it was your fault. He bites his tongue, it was my fault because I was talking. He'll argue about the craziest things ... "You're going to drive back towards so-and-so's because we just went around in a circle" ... ??? ... "No sweetie, I'm driving home now." "NO YOUR NOT!!!" Things that I'm telling him I'm doing and I'm just wrong. I don't know, and I know you guys don't know for sure either. It's nice to just write it all down though and know that someone who understantds will read it. All I know is that I do need to fight for the correct diagnosis here. The more I thought about this ODD/CD thing, the more I realized that it IS only explaining not even half of my son's behaviors, and is more like a symptom of something else. [/QUOTE]
