[QUOTE="SunnyNC, post: 47725, member: 3459"] I had to look up the official definition of a psychometrist haha! She explained her postion to me as a psychology technitian who administered many of the testing. Here is the offical definition I guess of a psychometrist. It sounds like she should be pretty competent to administer the test...and in my opinion that is PROBABLY where the notations of eye contact issues at the beginning of each test came from...not from the neuropsychologist's observations, but I will ask. I will ask about her certainty with all of these diagnosis when I talk to her next since the time that she observed him was so short. Very interesting indeed...and maybe that is why she was asking me questions at the Results meeting, regarding the ASQ (Autism Spectrum Questionnaire...which my son apparently scored as having many symptoms of an Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD))....AFTER all testing was completed. Of course, with what is noted in the Summary part of the report...the neurologist might give their own diagnosis too? I don't know... I will call them tomorrow and accept the appointment for June 28th to have them do the test "again." I was mostly concerned that reguardless of the test results, the neuropsychologist would not be willing to change her diagnosis IF my son were to test on the spectrum...since her mind was apparently made up after our 1 hour initial appointment that he was just an inflexible child (her words). Have a great day! [/QUOTE]
