[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 606379, member: 14557"] So his biggest problems seem to be sensory stuff and impulse control during meltdowns. And being intensive and feeling big. We had a lot of all that too, but also lots of social awkwardness and lack of skills (and getting badly bullied made that worse.) Mine also has tendencies for untypical attention management but he can manage also typical, if motivated/has to/to do to get. Mine is now young adult and despite two broad evaluations (both in well respected children's hospital under neurology and psychiatric department and taking several days) several years apart, they never really came up with what is wrong with him. He is talented in some ways (mainly high IQ and being very talented in one sport, also some artistic flares) and very good at compensating. He has not escaped his issues without scars. He has PTSD with rather disturbing dissociation symkptoms as testament of peer issues and he is recovering gambling addict (and has ruined his reputation because of that before he even turned 18) due to both psychological and neurological issues. So I can't talk about any shiny success story. But things could be worse. So even without any big, real diagnosis, just going with symptoms and dealing with them, you are not totally lost. Treat what you see. If there are sensory issues, they need to be treated despite the cause. Impulse control issues - try to find help for those. Try different approaches, something may stick. Of course also go after broad evaluations and trying to get that big diagnose. But if that is not in the cards, just deal with matters as they come. Your kid seems to have lots of strengths too. Those are more important than struggles. [/QUOTE]
