[QUOTE="TiredSoul, post: 62062, member: 3930"] Thanks for all the replies. I will contact our pediatrician and ask for a referral to have him evaluated by a neuropsychologist. Is there anything in particular I should mention when asking for this referral? I am thinking it could be difficult to get in right away - I imagine there is usually a long wait? If so, what do you suggest I do in the meantime? I had wondered about talking to his teacher for Kindergarten about this - and am torn because I do want to warn them so they can work with him, but at the same time I don't want them to be biased and nit-picking just looking for things. Who knows... maybe Kindergarten is just what he needs??! (Ok, I am grasping at straws - but I can hope, can't I?) : ) (busywend, No I don't get much of a break and could really use one right about now!) I'm going to start insisting that my Mom take him one weekend per month to help us out. That was her plan when we moved back to WA in Oct. 2005, but needless to say, that has only happened twice. I think he really cramps her style even though she would like to believe otherwise. Thanks again for all the advice. I really appreciate it. [/QUOTE]
