[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any other issues at school other than the flat affect?  Does he have friends?  Since he has had a MERLD diagnosis and is 11 yrs old, take him for a neuropsych eval which will tell you whether the MERLD is fully resolved and if there are any other issues like learning disabilities.[/quote]

No he tests very high above grade. Perfect grades. Has a few friends. Any suggestion who to see?[/quote]

See Dr. David Black at  http://caatonline.com/?team=dr-david-black

My DS, 11, with ASD/ADHD and way above grade level with perfect grades and friends sees him.  Has been invaluable.  Good luck![/quote]

DS does not have a flat affect however.  Is the flat affect causing social issues?

My brother-in-law had a flat affect as a kid.  Could not make eye contact either unlike DS.  Our entire family has a lot of spectrumy symptoms even if no diagnosis.  BIL grew out of the flat affect and eye contact issues without interventions..   Multi degreed and Ivy educated but miserable.  However, we all want better for DS - Supports and services make a great difference in quality of life and happiness but you have to identify the problem first.[/quote]
