[QUOTE="DDD, post: 249901, member: 35"] There sure sounds like there is as Aspie overlay in that big mix but with so many issues I think I'd be seeking an independent neuropsychologist evaluation at the best children's hospital in the Nation. Honestly I can't imagine that a local school board would have someone capable of sorting out such a complex mix of behaviors and genetics. An example of why I suggest that route is what happened with difficult child's neuropsychologist. He, too, took a knife to school. It was actually a little blade from a little pocket knife and he, too, was being bullied (the schools are into the "don't ask, don't tell" mode on bullying since they want no responsibility!). Anyway they scheduled the exam in a larger Florida city with an office of good reputation. Bottom line.......they diagnosis. schizo-affective. When the report came I cried it was such a shock. THEN I find out that his biomom had taken him to some weird store with bells, gongs, etc. etc. and he relayed all the "magical" thinking to those experts. That combined with his Aspie personality and a few other strange things...oila..wrong diagnosis. A new evaluation done a year later was correct. Your difficult child needs the best of the best to ascertain what the problems are in total, what the future holds, what methods are needed to help him AND very importantly how you and your husband can make sure that your "perfect children" aren't suffering more than you might expect. I admire your dedication. DDD [/QUOTE]
