Triple diagnoses

right. it's exactly that type of stuff I'm taking to my son's psychiatrist to see if we can get further assessments. I was in a fog when I filled out his intake forms so I didn't even think of his obsession with computers and his solitary play in groups when he was 2-5 years old. my son also did not fantasy play at all until he was about 8, and then it was only RPG fantasy, which has continued to be his main obsession. I didn't even start thinking about these things as being pertinent to his evaluation until I got here, since I'm a literal thinker and thought he's reached normal milestones. looking back now, things were off since he was very young and I didn't know that those were things to bring up. he responded appropriately to medical professionals and everyone just commented that he was very smart because he could verbalize so well at a young age, but the verbal deficits have become more obvious as he's gotten older, as has the inability to read people's emotions, the one-sided conversations, etc.

This was my stepson to a T. Well, I mean he talked late but once he started he was very verbose (according to his dad) but now that he's just started middle school, it's become apparent that he doesn't get the essential meaning to a story, that a story is not just words etc.

Oh and I forgot on my list to add the one-sided conversations, they never go both ways.

As far as getting my husband to help, well this board is giving me more confidence but when I asked him if he was planning on telling his son about his Dx, just yesterday, he said that because he has custody 50% of the time, the other 50% his son is with his mother who won't accept any of this and because it would be conflicting statements, he would be telling him he had NVLD and she would be telling him he didn't have NVLD, because of this conflict he said something about it not being worth it. I don't know, because when he was saying this is sounded like a bunch of smoke and mirrors being waved in front of me. Poor kid, I tense up when he comes home now because he's not a happy camper and there is this whole world of people just like him that he doesn't know about. He may be my stepson but I do care about him, I never go around calling him my stepson but I just don't want to use his name here. And I'm 7 months pregnant and this could be something my daughter may have.
