Thanks for checking in, ndw. I'm sorry to hear your assessment wasn't very informative. We have not really gotten anywhere yet, but do have some things in the works. At school, they are putting him into a small group with interventions for writing. After six weeks of this, they will decide whether or not to evaluate. This is extremely frustrating since I first brought up my concerns last year in third grade, and if he even does get evaluated it will be towards the end of fourth. He has an OT evaluation at a new place scheduled for this month, and they are having me fill out a sensory profile for that, so I am optimistic that they will figure out his sensory issues and what goes along with them.
I have been communicating a lot with his pediatrician, and she seems pretty confused. She says she is really doubting the diagnosis, but is hesitant to send us back to the psychologist since the evaluation was only done back in June. So, she has prescribed yet another medication, but it seems like she is quite doubtful it will work any better. I am holding off on starting it, because she told us we could up the dosage on his anxiety meds and I want to see if that has any significant effect first.
Thanks for the book recommendations (I have actually started Misdiagnosis and Dual Diagnosis of Gifted Children and Adults before, but haven't finished it), I put a hold on them at the library and will let you know if they were useful for us.
