[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 20986, member: 1550"] If neuropsychologist is thinking of The Spectrum, conventional therapy and medications alone won't do it. Have you gotten any Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) interventions? Read anything on it? A NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) is a tricky diagnosis. Some feel it's the same exact thing as Aspergers. Some don't. At any rate, they are enough alike to merit similar interventions. With the NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) and Sensory Integration Disorder (SID), I'd at least consider adding Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) interventions to his treatment. NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD)/Sensory Integration Disorder (SID)/AS are NOT psychiatric issues and kids who have them do NOT rage because of psychiatric issues, unless there is a co-morbid diagnosis. If so, both disorders need treatment. I know how confusing these diagnoses are. You hope to go in there and get a professional with a concrete label, but your neuropsychologist was honest enough to give kind of say he wasn't sure. Still, I believe in being proactive and I'd treat Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) anyways, since it's a possibility and the symptoms are there. Neurological and psychiatric issues are closely tied together. Hug to you. I hope you get it figured out. I do think medications may be one part of the answer here. The daily raging isn't good for you or your child. Janna--That shutting down could be the Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD). Many Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) kids just turn off when faced with too much stimulation. It's not really a manipulation--it's more of a coping mechanism! [img]:smile:[/img] [/QUOTE]
