[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 505118"] pattyb, your second post with more details answering my questions........you just described my difficult child 1 to a "T". It took us 3 psychologists(therapist), 4 child psychiatrists(psychiatrist), and the wrong diagnosis's of ODD and bipolar before someone bothered to listen to me and look at the WHOLE picture. My son is ADHD (in our case it's co-morbid) and Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). His "behaviors" are a result of his increased anxiety in certain situations. At 13, he still uses made-up words when he can't think of the "right" one and baby-talk when he's in a NEW situations. Once he warms up, he's very social. All the rest of your description matches mine, too. You really need to find a neuropsychologist. Susie recommended my two "bibles" so I won't tell you the same thing. You are right to ask questions. I have also learned the HARD way (cost difficult child 1 a lot) not to trust professionals implicitly. They are human also with thoughts of their own, beliefs of their own, and mistakes of their own. difficult child 1 and I have survived MANY of those. You need to find someone that will listen carefully, ask lots of questions, take their time, and look at the WHOLE picture. [/QUOTE]
