[QUOTE="agee, post: 322921"] You are so kind to have looked at my old posts. A child psychologist diagnosis'd him originally with ADHD and ODD - ADHD at age 4 and we then went to a child psychiatrist to manage medications. ODD has been implied all along. He sees a psychiatric nurse practitioner now, because we had trouble getting appts. with the first dr. - and I like the nurse better because he's less cautious about trying new medications. He is having a neuropsychologist evaluation. in January. I had wanted one earlier this year but we need to wait until the next deductible year. I took him this summer to a developmental child psychologist and I had hoped for a more thorough evaluation. but I got jack from them. All their report was was exactly what I had said - plus they thought I should take antidepressants because when they asked me how I was coping I cried a bit. :winking: I haven't had an Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE)/Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) specialist evaluate him although no one doubts that prenatal alcohol exposure is part of the issue. The thing is that is is of normal intelligence and has no facial features so as far as I've been able to discover it would be very hard to diagnosis. him with Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE) or ARND, especially since we have no proof of it. So I'm not sure what good that would do, although I'm open to any suggestions or ideas or recommendations. We are switching health insurance to a HSA and we're going to blow out our deductible in the first 2 months - this is the year to get all the evaluations. that we can get done, done. Thanks so much, A [/QUOTE]
