[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 149801, member: 2423"] I agree with Terry that until his diabetes is stabilized, his mood might be all over the place. Furthermore, just getting the diagnosis might have kicked up his anxiety. Are you working with a good pediatric endocrinologist? If so, that doctor might be able to tell you what else needs to be ruled out from a medical standpoint (such as thyroid, Lyme Disease, mono, etc). You also might want to check with a pediatric neuro to rule out seizures. Between 3 children, we have seen 6 different neuropsychologists. There are good ones and bad ones. I found the good ones through word of mouth from other parents with special needs children and through our pediatrician and our psychiatrists. Neuropsychological testing should include both educational (IQ and achievement) and psychological testing. Neuropsychologists can also be found at children's and university teaching hospitals. The diagnosis will determine the type of interventions needed. I'm not big into counselors because they tend to concentrate on the behavior rather than the cause behind it. My children see child psychiatrists weekly for medication management and psychotherapy. [/QUOTE]
