[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having paid a ton of money for the neuropsych eval for my other kid, I just don't see the benefit in getting her assessed.  I know exactly what her problems are, and what her strengths are.  I know everyone always says "get the neuropsych" but, having done it, I don't see the benefit -- except that I walked into the school with super-high IQ test results and all the administrators  said "oooh....".  It didn't tell me one thing I didn't already know about my kid.

But I am really appreciating all these concrete suggestions.  I've asked her before about a fidget ball, and stressed that there's a time for jumping in with an answer (like on Jeopardy) and at time to wait and see what others have to say...I think she gets that, but just can't live it.

I like the idea of the stickers.  She's very good about budgeting her money on things, so if she had a "budget" of times she could say something, that might work.[/quote]

IMHO I think you need to have your kid tested.  You aren't a testing professional.  We were surprised when we got DC's  Asperger's diagnosis but as he has grown up it is now quite apparent and I wish we had gotten him intervention earlier.  Even as an adult he has sudden comments that are just plain weird.  Like Tourette's, although he doesn't have tourette's, but the statements still are awkward, sometimes not p.c. (which we have to correct even though he is an adult because it will get him in trouble in college), and he had impulse control issues when he was your kid's age.  We used tactile toys.  I now wish we had done more intervention and had done speech training 'way back.  Too late now.[/quote]
