[QUOTE="Snowie, post: 127467, member: 4712"] Hi Daralex & Judi, thanks so much for your welcome. Marg, I did the Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) questionnaire and I knew before I finished it that Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) is not a problem for him. He displays no autisic behaviours whatsoever, I think I answered no for every question. He was speaking in sentences by the time he was 18 months old and has always had a good grasp of language. He is a voracious reader and has never displayed any learning problems. He will learn anything in a second, so long as it is something that HE is interested in. He 'gets it' very quickly, often before you've finished explaining, whereas difficult child 2 (with Auditory Processing Disorders (APD)) needs things explained over and over before he 'gets it' and that is the only 'problem' that difficult child 2 has. Remember that difficult child 1 is 11 (he'll be 12 in August and due for high school next year) and this has only just come up in the last fortnight and he has been at the same school since grade prep. In fact, the principal, in who's office difficult child 1 has spent plenty of time, only first suspected this might be his problem late last year. He's not so bad that he sticks out like a sore thumb. I just spoke to the school psycho and discussed this with her. She thinks it is ADHD too. It took me a little while to work it out, it finally hit me while I was laying in bed last night! Your comment about don't give out too much personal info had me a little stumped and I finally 'got' why you said that. Horace and Boris aren't their real names ... lol ... I couldn't be so cruel! They are their internet pseudonyms. Horace is a pseudonym for horror head because he gives me so much grief and Boris rhymes with Horace, so it worked for me!!! LOL I usually called my husband Frosty online because, after all, Frosty is the Snow Man! I will look into the Centrelink thing. I don't think I do much extra to look after him or difficult child 2, but the paed cost me $265.00 (before Medicare) and if he has to be medicated, that'll be another ongoing expense. I'm not bothered about the carer's payment but the health care card for his medical expenses sure would be handy. I understand Communication Books, I had one for difficult child 2 earlier in his school life. We don't really need it for him any more but I hadn't thought to use it for difficult child 1. It's certainly a great idea. Snowie. [/QUOTE]
