[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 227865, member: 1550"] Yeesh. I can't diagnose. I'm not qualified, but this kid sounds like he has Aspergers or Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified, and that really isn't a psychiatrist's best field since they are neurological problems. NeuroPsychs are in Children's and University hospitals, and I had to travel a bit to take my son to his, but it was worth it. The psychiatrist kept saying he had bipolar and he doesn't...lol. Funny thing is, hub and I adopted him at two and we thought "autism" right away because, although he was bright, he was so strange and had so many obsessions and inflexibilities and he couldn't transition. But psychiatrist kept blathering about ADHD/ODD/bipolar/yada yada and put him on tons of medications that eidn't help! We finally heard about NeuroPsychs and had him tested and he's been doing great for a long time now--he didn't need all the medications, he needed a different type of help. At 15, he has come SOOOOOOOOOOO far. He is still Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), but he actually has friends and can behave appropriately if he wants to. And he doesn't act weird in front of other people anymore or go up to strangers and blurt about his obsessions...lol. They all have obsessions if they're Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). AND anxiety. My son actually did better than Timmy at his age--here's an online test you can test for Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) (Autism, Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified or Aspergers). I have heard that it's really good, if you tell the truth. This child could do so well in life if he just got the proper interventions and it sounds like beyond ADHD.
