[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 168810, member: 1550"] A BT is not a very good diagnostician. Keep the neuropsychologist appointment.Or get one if you don't have an appointment. If your hub never outgrew ADHD, and never learned to deal with it, he likely didn't just have ADHD (like most disorders, ADHD doesn't stand by itself most of the time/they tend to come in clusters). It could also be more than ADHD. If his social skills are terrible, I'd want him carefully evaluated for Aspergers Syndrome or Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified. If he is on the Spectrum, he won't outgrow it unless he has serious interventions, especially in life and social skills. As always, I don't know if he has that, but it's always a good idea to see a neuropsychologist (my idea of the best evaluator because they test so intensively) and find out for sure. And keep going every year until you have an answer. medications are not necessarily the answer. It really depends on what's wrong. Since there are no blood tests, it is easy to have a misdiagnosis. Our family knows THAT first hand. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
