[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 111851, member: 1550"] raere, I strongly suggst a neuropsychologist evaluation. While none of us can diagnose a child, yours at least has some serious Learning Disability (LD) issues (and I personally don't trust school district evaluations) and he may have high functioning autism (Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified or Aspergers). It is typical for those on the Spectrum to have trouble making sense when they speak. He could also have an auditory processing problem--my daughter has this, however she is very articulate and does express herself well--this shows up with her mostly when she tries to comprehend what she reads (it's getting much better due to lots of early intervention). Is your son a social child? Does he interact with his peers in an appropriate give-and-take manner? How is his eye contact? Does he have good imaginative play? I would do the neuropsychologist anyways--they do lots and lots of testing and can catch trouble areas that other professionals never look for. That's what finally helped us and it made a big diff in the life of my Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) son. He also got that ADHD/ODD diagnosis. first, then bipolar. You don't want to go there, I'm sure. NeuroPsychs can be found at University and Children's hospitals. We were lucky. We didn't have to get a referral. We just found one and were able to go and get coverage. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
