[QUOTE="Steely, post: 458473, member: 3301"] Yep keista you are right - by the time "aspergers" was widely noted he was 10. I remember getting him a neuropsychologist at that time, and again, the dr said he fits most of the criteria but he has empathy and makes eye contact, so therefore he didn't really have it. In addition - Matt does not come across as unusual, or awkward - so no one ever thought of him as having more problems than just being a bully and a brat. OMG the time and energy I spent fighting for his Special Education rights, and for them to reinforce the BIP was over the top. Even the private schools that were supposed to be geared for kids like him, didn't know what to do with him, and eventually kicked him out. I believe he is still an enigma to most doctors. This week he finally got a psychiatrist appointment, the first time in a year, and was able to portray to this Dr this stable, conscientious, smart, individual. Two days later he calls me and tells me he is really suicidal again!!! I am like - why didn't you tell the Dr this??? " I don't trust people mom, I can't tell them what is [I]really [/I]going on, you know that." UGH. A long talk ensued after that - but I guess my point is, is that he can present perfect when he wants to - which again makes it all that much more complicated. Anyway - sorry to Bogart this thread :) Seriously I am going to read your thread about this. [/QUOTE]
