[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 554729, member: 1550"] If this were me, I'd want an MRI too and any other tests they can do for the brain. He does sound like he could have been shaken as a baby. Some symptoms also are autistic. Autistic kids do not mostly have ALL the symptoms in the list. Do you know if bio. mom shook this child? I know a woman who has a shaken baby (her ex shook him) and he is slow to learn and mentally challenged. Did she drink or use drugs or both while she was pregnant? That can also create a variety of problems including organic brain damage of various forms. in my opinion, at his age, my #1 priority would be getting his ducks in a row to set up adult services for him as it does not sound as if his condition can be reversed and he will possibly need assistance as he gets older. Can you tell us more about his background? Was bio. mom abusive? A drinker? A drug addict? It is possible you may never know the cause, but there are community supports that can give him a quality life...with help from caregivers. The amount of caregiving he would need depends upon how bad his disability is, regardless of what the label is. [/QUOTE]
