Liam has been having issues and behavior that was excessive physically,
so David and I have taken him to a few doctors to get their DX on his
behavior.
Good News - All doctors and therapists agree that Liam doesn't have Autism. Yeah!!!
Liam's DX -
Liam does score in the elevated and high range for his age level on many
aspects of his personality, which means he doesn't behave like a
typical 3yo..
Liam's Therapist is working on his aggressive behavior through family therapy.
Liam's psych doctor has given him a preliminary DX of ADHD and ODD. Liam is on Risperdal with monthly blood tests.
Liam's psychologist doesn't want to label Liam with ADHD or ODD at this
time. She said the ODD label is very hard to come back from. So, she
says she would DX Liam with Unspecified Disruptive Impulse Control
Disorder. She even gave me the number to find out more info under the
DSM V. We go back to her in 6 months.
When your baby is born, you make sure they have 10 toes and 10 fingers and all the right body parts in the right places. But what about the parts you can't see, the invisible pieces. Those become more visible as the child grows up. This blog is about my two sons' invisible pieces and how we are dealing with them as a family. I hope you follow along in the discovery of Our Invisible Pieces.
