[QUOTE="Sumsky, post: 739197, member: 22893"] Thank you BloodiedButUnbowed! We are going to a large university facility for the testing. I know we have 2 appointments scheduled and we are to expect both to be several hours. I am honestly not sure what all is involved with the appointments other than testing. Our therapists and caseworker highly recommended this testing and the neuropsychologist. They said it would tell them what they needed to know for their approach to therapy. They also told us that autism is workable where antisocial not so much. I think they are seeing a lot of mixed behaviors and it very well may be a combination. If that is possible. SS takes things very literal, he doesn’t get jokes and sarcasm most of the time. He watches people and stares to the point of making them uncomfortable. He repeats ‘feelings’ to them but can’t really describe how he’s feeling. And when asked how he feels he says sad, angry, happy like a question... almost like he’s asking if that is right. He doesn’t respect personal space or boundaries. He doesn’t understand the social clues on when to drop a subject and will continue to go on and on. So, I do understand some of the mixed signs, but again the lying, deceit, manipulation also tells me that he knows more than he lets on too. [/QUOTE]
