[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 122657, member: 3626"] Many kids thrive in a hospital setting. The behaviors seen at home or at school don't show up. Remember, most kids honeymoon in a new environment. I can't imagine any good hospital taking an 8 YO just for observation purposes. The child needs to be in a crisis mode. As to hoping that testing will give you a definitive answer, the answer is probably not. It is rare for everything to show up, especially when the testee is young. The testing is a start. More a way to rule out things than to get a diagnosis that will last a lifetime. If this were my child, I would go for the neuropsychologist evaluation and hope for at least some concrete answers. More importantly, some real recommendations that could help my child whether it be medications, behavior modification, play therapy or a combination of any of the above. I do know how hard and frustrating all of this is. Not really knowing is frustrating and painful. It is hard to help your child when you don't know what is wrong. [/QUOTE]
