Just got back the neuropsychologist results which were limited since our insurance footed the bill and medical necessity ruled the day. Most of it was not new info but her recommendations included some things that were not what we've heard before.
Has anyone else had this test done with their difficult child?
difficult child 2 scored in the 2 to 5% range on Theory of Mind.
Theory of mind is to be able to reflect on the contents of ones own and others minds.
I'm trying to decide to what extent I agree with this score. It is clear that difficult child 2 has serious issues with taking another person's perspective and understanding his own thoughts and feelings. But I would not have said it was virtually non-existent. I'm going to talk to the psychiatric when she gets back from vacation about whether he could have pulled his punches and this score may be inaccurate.
