[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 746233, member: 1550"] No matter where you have him, please please insist he see a Neuropsychologist. See what they say about that. A Neuropsychologist is NOT a neurologist. It is a highly trained, usually PhD Psychologist who also has extra training in the workings of the brain. My son had ten HOURS worth of very intensive and impressive testing. He was tested in everything from IQ and learning style to ADHD on a computer to Autism to bipolar to how he thinks, talks, responds and behaves. Every area was covered. My son had to do it in two days. He was tired. In the end, tje neuropsychologist told us, with no hesitation, that his paychiatrists bipolar diagnoses was wrong and that he did not have moodswings but was on the autism spectrum. My son's life changed. No more horrible medications and lots of autism interventions and he kept getting better and better as we zeroed in on the right thing. And its true that my son was not moody and his psychiatrists diagnoses puzzled us, but he wouldnt bend. So we went to a NeuroPsychologist. I am to this day very grateful. See what you can do. Cant hurt. Hugs!!! [/QUOTE]
