[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 385351, member: 84"] Welcome :happy: And I was thinking along the same lines as smallworld. First thing that popped into my head was that he could very possibly be on the autistic spectrum.......right down to the charming adults but unable to interact with other children. With Travis........we did 2 neuropsychologist evaluations both of which did turn up lots of things missed by other evaluations. But because Travis has the ability to do well with adults most of the time.......we had to go to a pediatric neurologist who specialized in autism to get his Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) diagnosis. Took the man all of 15 mins. Travis pretty much screams it at you if you know what to look for. lol I currently have 2 grandsons that will be getting neuropsychologist evaled in the near future. But I'm also taking them to the same pediatric neurologist Travis saw for the autism diagnosis to have them evaled for the autism I strongly feel both boys have. There is a long list of signs and symptoms when you start researching autistic spectrum disorders. Keep in mind no child has to have all the signs and symptoms in order to have the diagnosis. Each child is unique. Travis is affectionate and fairly social to family members, many Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) kids aren't. He can do social for short periods even with his own peer group......he just doesn't do it well at all. If possible getting someone who specializes in the area is better because they know what they're looking for and are experienced enough to know that not every child is going to have exactly the same set of signs and symptoms.
