[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 44309, member: 1991"] Tanya, I know the neuropsychologist is expensive, but once he's been assessed in detail a lot of that expense is an investment, it doesn't need to be done again. The testing is a snapshot of how he performed in detail at this time and age. Whatever is looked at in years to come, that testing and the results will always be there to refer back to, for any expert. I think it's time to do this. When the psychologist says he has a different way of looking at the world, this doesn't mean anything spooky or nasty, necessarily. A kid with Sensory Integration Disorder (SID), for example, will be more sensitive to certain sensory inputs such as noise, texture, light, sound - it means that what wouldn't be noticed by one person is like fingernails across a blackboard for one of our kids. And it all affects how they relate to people and things. Interventions are available, but more accessible when you have an expert's professional assessment. He needs this to get the extra support at school. You need it because you have to know. Whether he actually does go on medications is still up to you, but the neuropsychologist should be able to explain it better for you, specific to your son. Marg [/QUOTE]
