DeeDee,
The way the dev ped described it the symptoms are pretty much the same, but I know he has sensory issues and the neuropsych just sort of blew those off. So, yes, I think the new diagnoses are a better fit and I like the treatment options that he suggested like OT. ADHD is not ruled out forever and neither is ASD or Aspergers. He just wants to absolutely certain what we are dealing with, which I GREATLY appreciate.
It is just frustrating to think you have answers and then find out you don't. But, without a correct diagnosis, we cannot help him to live to his full potential and we cannot address the things that drag his self esteem down if we don't know what those are.
Thanks for the reply. It is nice to know that others have been through these types of things.
