[QUOTE="StressedM0mma, post: 527054, member: 13204"] And the school psychologist said after what the teachers said what difficult child said and what we said, he no longer see it as Aspergers. He is beginning to believe it is ADHD that she has been able to compensate for all of these years. He said it appears very differently in girls than in boys, and that the anxiety sleeplessness ODD and disorganization as well as everything else are all signs of it. The more I am reading about it the more I feel I am reading about my difficult child. It is like they are holding up a mirror to her and writing down everything she is doing. So, the school psychiatric. gave us the name of a place that does intense evaluations of ADHD as well as mood disorders and I am going to call today to make her an appointment. It sounds like it will take weeks to complete. They meet with her 5 or 6 times!! That will be the most that anyone has sat with her. Her psychiatrist talked to her for about 45 min. and gave us her diagnosis with no testing involved. Just a self assessment. So, I am excited to see what comes of this. [/QUOTE]
