[QUOTE="hersheyb79, post: 416584, member: 11482"] I've posted on the Easy Child forum, but this side seems to get more traffic, so I thought I'd jump over here and try to get some advice. My DS has started seeing a therapist (behavioral modification) and a P-DR. I snuck a peek at the computer screen last time the therapist walked out of the room and there were about 12 different diagnosis's on the screen. The 1st 3 were ADHD, ODD, Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD). My question is, are there any tests I can request to help them narrow this down. His school gave him the BASC-2 and he scored HIGH on everything (except somatization, he scored normal on that). I have determined from my reading that is not a good thing. The preschool didn't give me the interpretation of the results...so I have no idea what that means. He sees his P-DR on April 13 and I plan on taking it with me. I showed it to his therapist, who just kind of shrugged it off (he didn't even want a copy of it). I just want my son to be happy. He rages all the time, his P-DR is very careful with medications, which I appriciate, but I also am keenly aware that he's going to need some kind of diagnosis before the end of the school year so that I can get him into the proper class when he starts elementary school next year. I'm just worried that we're not going to have it narrowed down in time. I'm also wondering if he's even going to be able to be mainsteamed and if I don't have a diagnosis I don't know where to go :( TIA for any advice. [/QUOTE]
