[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 365188, member: 1550"] Hi. I lived most of my life in Illinois. Are you near St. Louis? Being a big city, they have tons of resources. If you want to see if your daughter has Aspergers and get her the appropriate help in school, I suggest a neuropsychologist evaluation rather than therapy or a Psychiatrist. Aspies are very fearful and worry about things way before they happen. They are also often misunderstood. I'd do the neuropsychologist thing before I did anything else. Although Springfield isn't a huge city, it's not that small either. You should be able to find a neuropsychologist. Are you near a university hospital? I find those are the best. If necessary, you could make a day trip to Chicago. They have immense resources for diagnosing our kids. The label is important because it opens many doors. I think ODD/ADHD is a throwaway diagnose...it is one that kids get the doctors really don't know, but are too proud to say, "I don't know." :raspberry-tounge: [/QUOTE]
