I, perhaps, should have explained my reason for asking if CAH affects them mentally.  My dd has Turner’s Syndrome.  She is wonderful but a bit odd and has some learning problems.  After spending years trying to figure out her problems I found out that Turner’s has Non-Verbal Leraning Disorder associated with it.  Finally, all her problems made sense and we could get her the right treatments and teaching methods. Had I known this earlier it would have saved me a lot of work.

Christopher is such a complicated child with mild DD, behavioral problems and psychosis which means he hallucinates and has delusions (if he were older he would be dx schizophrenic) I was hoping that this might explain some of his problems.  He is the son of a mentally ill and addicted mother so there are lots of reasons for his problems. 

I hope no one was offended by the question.
