[QUOTE="buddy, post: 504188, member: 12886"] Hi there. I have a son with temporal lobe seizures (his looked like they were waking him up at night on the eeg), iq about 78-86 depending on type of test....and lang delays too. My son has autism and a brain injury. Sleep issues are common in autism even without seizures. (other things too but really common in autism) Not doing well with kids his age and lang delay..sounds like autism could be a possibilty and if so the adhd may be actually a symptom of that. Seizures are at a higher percentage in kids with autism than in the typical population. Does the neuro know about the lang delay and IQ??? That doesn't generally go with Asperger's but does go with high functioning autism or any other level of autism. Does he go to preschool? If so, how does he do there? A couple of ideas... 1. Get a complete neuropsychology and occupational therapy evaluation to go with your language information (I assume he had speech/lang evaluation already??? since he is delayed?? if not, add that ) A neuropsychologist looks at how behavior and the brain are connected. 2. Call the early childhood special education department and get the name of the director. Tell them you will be sending a written request to them by certified mail (return receipt) to request a complete developmental evaluation on your son. Include that your neurologist is considering autism among his diagnosis and so you want an autism specialist on the team to do the evaluation. 3. another option to the neuropsychologist...can be along with or instead depending on your wishes... is to find a child development center that specializes in autism since the neurologist is thinking it is an option. (Asperger's is a form of autism, you know that??? ) I am sorry I am needing to rush off here but wanted you to know I read your post. I will be back, keep adding information like early milestones, how he does play with friends...can he do imaginative play or does he line things up?? does he like textures is he defensive about sights or sounds or touch...or does he seek these things?? Does he have a special thing he focuses on like dinosaurs, trains, a tv character, superheros, cars, etc... HUGS, hang in there, you are not alone! [/QUOTE]
