[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 85902, member: 1550"] I would take your son to a private neuropsychologist (this is a psycologist with extra training in the brain. They do EXTENSIVE testing in all areas of function). Rather than guessing, in my opinion, a neuropsychologist can give you the best idea of what is going on with your son. We had twelve hours of testing, longer than any professional bothered with before. My son is on the autism spectrum, atypical and high functioning, but his first wrong diagnosis. was ADHD/ODD and his second wrong diagnosis. was early onset bipolar. You have to be careful who you trust with your son and I would never trust the school district. They never came close. Are there any psychiatric disorders or substance abuse issues on the family tree on either side? Any early developmental red flags such as late speech, motor problems, sensitivities to food/clothing, inability to transition from one activity to another without a meltdown? Does he play with toys appropriately and know how to socialize with his peers? [/QUOTE]
