[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 277921, member: 1550"] A Neuropsychologist does 6-10 hours of intensive testing in all areas of function. This can pinpoint problems and disorders that other professionals miss. Most see the child for an hour, listen to you, watch the child (who is probably on good behavior) and pull out a diagnosis which is often wrong. If it's a psychiatrist, a prescription usually follows (been there/done that). I have bipolar and my son is on the spectrum. Of all the different professionals I personally have seen for myself and for my son, I think NeuroPsychs nail it with the most accuracy. I have had the most bizarre diagnoses that I knew were wrong and almost laughed at from therapists and even a few psychiatrists. And if you get misdiagnosed, you don't get the right help. NeuroPsychs can be wrong too--there are no blood tests--but in my opinion they try the hardest and you have the best shot with them. Of course, some are better and more thorough than others. [/QUOTE]
