[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 128598, member: 2423"] A school psychologist is not qualified to make a diagnosis of bipolar disorder. Only a board-certified child psychiatrist can make that diagnosis. Either a developmental pediatrician, neuropsychologist or autism clinic at a university or children's hospital is your best bet for dxing Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). What kind of outside doctor is he seeing? In terms of the school, our best tactic for addressing behaviors in school is to get extensive outside interventions (both medication and psychotherapy) to help our kids function appropriately in society. The first step, of course, is to get an accurate diagnosis. Only with an accurate diagnosis will you be able to put the proper interventions into place. [/QUOTE]
