[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 129584, member: 84"] With your son being 24 is he willing to go for a diagnosis to see what the problem might be? Personally, I like neuropsychologist because they evaluate for just about everything, learning disabilities, possible mental disorders, ect. So their evaluations pick up on more things than say a psychiatrist evaluation would. And I'd say if your son is having troubles in social/relationship areas this might not be a bad idea for him. Now, having said that..... I found that finding a neuropsychologist to re-evaluation my son Travis as an adult nearly impossible in our area. But I got lucky. Out of desperation I called Children's in cincy and asked his old pediatrician neuro if he knew of any in the area. As luck would have it, one of the good ones that had practiced for years at Children's had decided to add adults to his practice as he saw a huge need for it. So, the search for one might be tough, depending on your area. Could you give a little more background? How did he meet developmental milestones growing up? How'd he do in school acedemically and socially with his peers? Stuff like that can help us give better advice. Hugs [/QUOTE]
