[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 110137, member: 1550"] I think he has a lot of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) issues. Our psychiatrist misdiagnosed my son with bipolar (yep, it took the guy all of about 30 minutes). He was wrong, but son spent three years on heavy medication. I recommend a neuropsychologist evaluation. They are far more intensive than a Psychiatric evaluation, which usually consists of just visiting and the psychiatric. diagnosis. based only on what you say, what he sees in a short period of time, and often what HE is currently diagnosing. neuropsychologist's go into far more detail and spend a lot of time with the kids. My son was tested for a total of twelve hours, and in every way. I think you're a good mom to question the diagnosis. It's always smart to get another evaluation if you aren't settled about the one you have. I would also see a Neurologist (which is quite different from a neuropsychologist). Any child with tics should be seen for possible Tourettes. Many mental illnesses go along with Tourettes (bipolar/Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) for example). Could be that too... [/QUOTE]
