[QUOTE="Chrissy, post: 89354, member: 4241"] His first appointment with the new therapsit was (for me to talk without Zack) Oct 12th, the therapist gave me and the school papers to fill out and then Zack had is appointment that following week. And goes again Monday 29th and he said he wants further testing, What would that be??? I have a list of questions written down cause I guess I was bit overwhelmed. After talking to this guy he asked about Zacks bio dad and they are so much alike, he was so into drugs and drinking. Now my side my dad was a alcoholic and is sober 12 years. I was diagnosed with sever depression and anxiety, I get very bad panic attacks. The therapist doesn't want to do anything till he gets all his evaluations done with Zack. zack was a pretty much on his milestones, I have to dig out his baby book cause the therapist ask me as well, speech wasn't the greatest and is currently attending speech therapy, He does not make eye contact, he always looks away and if I tell him to look me in the eye he laughs at me when he talks. Just like his dad did. He only has a couple good friends and even those he can turn on quick. He likes hanging out with this kid who is 15 and has major issues and I don't like it cause they ran away two summers ago and I think he put things into zacks head and makes matters worse for him. Right now he doesn't go to far cause he is on probation. He is not good for change at all that is why I thought alot of what we went through was just that "change". He was 5 when we moved into our house and he started school. He cut up my couch, peed down my furnace vents, peed in his room, wrote all over my walls and windows, cut the screens, and to this day he is very disruptive and blames everyone else for it. I have lattice around my porch and there isn't a sheet that isn't broken from him. No he hasn't had a neuropsychologist evaluation, should I request one? I'm not sure what I should be asking this guy and what else I need to do. He said from just talking to me and reading his other reports that he was pretty sure he has ODD/ADHD. He wants other testing to confirm. I thought I'd get some research done so I can prepare myself and learn as much as I can so I can help Zack. I don't understand why the lady we saw never did any testing and she'll let Zack just sit and talk about anything that had nothing to do with why we were there. I was ready to pull him out of there when she announced she was leaving. On and to answer this Are you confident nothing more than ADHD/ODD is going on? I have to say no, cause I think there is more going on with him. One question I have is Bipolar?? But once again I know nothing about but have a few suggest it to me about him. This all so confusing and overwhelming to me. I thought when we got Jadens diagnosis I was confused, that was nothing compared to all this. [/QUOTE]
