[QUOTE="buddy, post: 477209, member: 12886"] Hi there! Welcome. Are you in the USA? What kinds of things are you worried about. If you can give us a little more information about your son, others will be able to pop in with their thoughts. I would like to say no one had ever experienced that..but sadly I fear many have. It is crazy to me to think anyone says a child is too young for help when it is clear in ANY circle that early intervention is best for EVERYTHING. People used to fear "labeling" kids at a young age for fear they would be thougth of that way and that way only and that they would grow to their label, meet the limited expectations that people would have for them based on a label. There are valid points to that, but in general kids are labeled by everyone anyway, and if not given the correct, appropriate label, they will not receive appropriate services. Have you called your school district and asked for an evaluation? Many here (including me/my son) have used the services of a neuropsychologist. Obtaining a neuropsychologist evaluation from a child development center or university or other such location provides a comprehensive look at what your child's strengths and weaknesses are and can help sort through different diagnosis. Hope you can share more (if you are comfortable doing so, dont need names or specifics, just the situation). Would be helpful to know birth history and developmental milestones, behaviors, etc. What is of most concern to you now? Mostly, you are not alone, there are many here who have some very challenging parenting experiences. i'm sure others will chime in. Again, welcome....Buddy [/QUOTE]
