Hi all, I am brand new here. Like 2 minutes brand new. Anyway, I have been struggling to figure out what's going on with my 1st grader who is definitely high IQ but struggles horribly with basic tasks and behavior especially. He is extremely impulsive and doesn't ever seem to know why. He has an upcoming appointment with our pediatrician as our first step. I would really appreciate any and all advice on how to speak with the Dr, whether we should specifically ask for a "neuropsychologist" or really just how can i make sure i get him the help he needs? What should our next steps look like? What might school look like for him in the future? Thank you
