[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 478114, member: 1169"] I'm sorry that the results were so bad. You are right that there is a silver lining. in my humble opinion, you may see the Conduct Disorder fade away as the other issues are treated. Your poor son hasn't been able to meet expectations at school due to his low IQ, has had difficulty understanding the meaning of others' language due to his Auditory Processing Disorders (APD), been lost in social interactions due to his autism and been unable to control himself due to the ADHD even when he wanted to control himself. Now, you have some direction. You have already started with Intuniv which should help with the hyperactivity and impulsivity. It may take some trial and error to find the best dose. I'd suggest calling an IEP meeting so that his IQ and achievement results can be discussed and his curriculum can be adjusted. I don't recall if he is having significant issues at school but now may be a good time to explore whether or not his current placement is the most appropriate one for him. If the school has an Autism Support Specialist, I would suggest asking for her/him to attend the meeting. For the Auditory Processing Disorders (APD), FastForWord is the premier program but it is very expensive. Earbonics is a cheaper version. If your district has FastForWord or will pay for it, that would be ideal. Has your son heard the results yet? Since it is clear that he is very unhappy, it may be a good idea to explain to him that the testing found why he is having problems and that there are ways to help him. That he will not have to 'get better' on his own, the his family, his teachers and his doctors are all going to be part of his team. (Maybe if he likes basketball or football, you can compare it to that.) Today is better than yesterday, you have more knowledge than you did. [/QUOTE]
