[QUOTE="nvts, post: 417750, member: 3814"] Hey maverick! A neuropsychologist is a doctor that knows the neurology AND the psychiatry behind the person being tested. A lot of our kids end up with the ADHD/ODD diagnosis early on because their Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) is SO high functioning that it falls into the cracks. A neuropsychologist will test all kinds of stuff as well as take into consideration the behaviors and character traits that show within the child. One of my biggest concerns for your little guy is that he's not going to get the appropriate interventions on the social skills that he's lacking. How to handle frustration, anger, etc. in a socially acceptable manner. As they get older, the more people (including us parents!) start to view it as willful, spiteful and really start to feel that they're just being manipulative. I'm also concerned that he may have some sensory issues that the trained eye might be able to ferret out and address before his behavior is shaped by the guarding created by them. Got you guys in my prayers...! Beth [/QUOTE]
