[QUOTE="DDD, post: 501676, member: 35"] First of all don't blame yourself. All of us have gone through stages of doing that...it's not healthy and it's not productive. You have done your very best. You are still trying to find answers. You are a good Mom. It would be nice if we were all perfect, lol, but we love our difficult child's and are doing everything we can to help them function in a healthy way. I would assume that the examination he had was a neuro/psychiatric exam since it lasted eight hours. The reports include all kinds of test results and observations that can be helpful in identifying uniqueness. If it was a neuro/psychiatric it will address intelligence tests, analysis of developmental abilities, and the specific reasons why certain diagnoses seem indicated. Usually the report is lengthly and it is not unusual for the testers to want to share in person so they can answer questions. Sometimes the testing is done by only one professional but often it is done by a team that work together administrating the tests. It does sound, from your response, like your son functions better in a quieter environment. That is not at all unusual. Of course it wall sounds like he prefers to ping/pong to the home that best suits his needs or desires. Frustrating I'm sure. What has been the longest visit to Grandma's? Just a day or two?? or longer?? Sorry that your husband and eldest are volatile and impatient. If it makes you feel any better many, many of the CD families have husband's who don't accept that difficult child's are unable to conform to their image of appropriate behavior. In fact, alot of them draw from their own childhoods and recall punishment as the cure for misbehaviors...sigh! Time for me to get back to work but wanted you to know that I care...and I have read your response. You have support here. Caring hugs. DDD [/QUOTE]
