[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 452038, member: 11791"] Ditto - to most of the postings on this thread. But a minor clarification - The list of things he could be is "and/or", rather than just "or" - he could be all of the above plus more. Its called "co-morbidity" - conditions that exist at the same time. It really complicates things. But its fairly normal - at least, if you ask THIS board! This is not likely to be primarily a mental health problem. Therefore, the mental health clinic is a bit "out of their league" - in more ways than one. (Most good mental health clinics will recognize certain symptoms and at least tell you where to go for more appropriate help.) How far are you from the nearest teaching hospital? If you can't access neuropsychologist, that might be another good option - teaching hospitals often have multi-disciplinary teams, and can do fairly thorough evaluations as well. You're going to need some sort of solid, testing-supported evaluation, to provide a starting point in figuring out what kinds of interventions to even try! {{hugs}} [/QUOTE]
