[QUOTE="buddy, post: 498797, member: 12886"] yes it is different. psychiatrist can give any diagnosis, true. But they are not likely to do so in all of the areas you are really needing.(for example there may be sensory issues, processing issues, etc.) Now if psychiatrist clearly sees this is a kid with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), then WOW, run with it. go ahead and try... but bottom line, you need to know strenghts, weaknesses, what areas is he challenged with so you can make goals. It is often just a really good thing to do even if you are already diagnosed and on an IEP at school. The school has a list of criteria they have to fulfill for the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) category. The diagnosis and what the psychiatrist or neuropsychologist uses can be used to fullfill that if they choose it (and it is stupid not to but sometimes a school has their process or they are being poops and dont agree so want their own testing done...but if there is a conflict in the end between your private and their testing you have a HUGE advantage so still do it). They have to tick the boxes and show the evidence to qualify a child for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and it is really not that complicated. But they need to DO it. (you can likely go to your state dept of ed website and find Special Education. criteria and then look under Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and you will see what they have to do/show). So, start with the fastest, send the letter, if you have a psychiatrist you trust and can tell him/her you need this diagnosis and they agree then go for it. And personally I would still do the neuropsychologist evaluation. A neuropsychologist does many tests across all domains and helps to associate behaviors and learning styles with brain function. They are psychiatrists with extra neuro training. yes, a childrens hospital or a university and some private neuropsychologists are out there. Sometimes they are associated with autism or developmental evaluation and therapy clinics. If you are pretty confident you are talking Aspergers or some form of Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) then that could be a good start, a specialized child development clinic. [/QUOTE]
