Guest guest Posted January 26, 2005 Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 Hi again, Yesterday I had a phone conference with the son Institute (profoundly gifted kids) and a Dr. from UCLA. The Dr asked plenty of questions about my son and once she had quite a bit of info, she said that ds needs CBT. She is the 3rd Dr to tell me that my son sounds like he would be considered High Functioning Autistic/Aspergers. <sigh> Anyone else here with this dual diagnosis? Today we are going to see a new psychiatrist. She is suppose to diagnose ds today " officially " with OCD and HFA/Aspergers. I am so nervous. Not sure why. I have 3 other children that are older than this " ocd " one. My oldest (adopted) has adhd, the next was in speech therapy and special ed, and the other I've been after the school district to test him since he was in K (I'm still waiting, they keep losing the paperwork and now he's in 10th grade!! grr...) Anyway, this son, my youngest, I always thought he was the one with no disabilities. Now with the OCD and with the possibility of HFA/Aspergers I am just falling apart. To top it all off, ds has to turn in all his homework right after our meeting with the new dr. Since the ocd, he takes f-o-r-e-v-e-r to do his work. Ok, maybe I'm under stress here. Thanks for letting me pour it all out here! Debbi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
