[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 416597, member: 1550"] A neuropsychologist will test for everything and can tell you about strengths and weaknesses, which point to certain things. However, it takes years usually for kids to get the right diagnosis. I'm not a big fan of early/often medication myself. I take it, but I am an adult. They threw too much at my son when he was young for ADHD/ODD (he doesn't have it), then bipolar (he doesn't have it). He is on the autism spectrum and does well without medication. However, he had very early intervention and that helped him a lot. He stopped his rages almost as soon as the early interventions began. I recommend a neuropsychologist so that you can also get early interventions. Sounds like the regular psychologist has no idea what your child has so he is putting down everything possible. [/QUOTE]
