[QUOTE="SRL, post: 213882, member: 701"] Given the family history, the behaviors you're seeing, and the fact that you've recognized the problem, I'd also advise taking the further steps of having him assessed privately and through the school district. A therapist alone can only do so much without a diagnosis and without interventions to address the reasons behind the behaviors. The reasons I'm suggesting that you get moving now is that 1) there are very long waiting lists (6 months to a year) to see specialists in some parts of the country and 2) you'd want to get any therapies started ASAP because most therapies are most effective at young ages. First diagnoses are usually working diagnoses and not final, but they usually give enough to give some direction. [/QUOTE]
