[quote=Anonymous]We have been told by a couple of professionals that our son may have a cognitive delay, and I've posted about it before. It's not clear because he has severe ADHD and he had a receptive language delay which has abated. He's almost five. When he was there, the dev ped noted a possible six month cognitive delay but said it could be due to fine motor deficits. He did not qualify for child fund until 4, and they found cognitive delays, but he did not cooperate at all. He is thriving in pep, and is apparently in the top group academically, fwiw. He's good at numbers and letters. He can write his name. He is conversational. He's extremely defiant and I don't know if it's because he does not understand sometimes. He's okay on self help, can dress himself other than his shirt, toileting is good. He can ride a bike with trainers and swim. So in a lot of ways, he's doing well. but his behavior is often so odd that it makes me think he must be cognitively delayed. Socially he does things to annoy people and just weird stuff like will bite something or when at a bounce house will spend the whole time trying to climb up the slide, bite the puck for the hockey thing, just crazy weird shi$. Part of the issue is we are not going to know until we can do a neuropaych and I don't want to do one until he is 7, because he has had delays that have normalized.

Did anyone have a similar child? I'm just tired of worrying about this. I know I'm not going to know for sure for years but given that we know he's not autistic I'm not sure what other explanations there are for his weird behavior. And we have done and are doing ot and ABA and speech. [/quote]
