[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 428457, member: 1550"] My daughter, because she has no behavioral problems, was only tested by the school so far. In June she has a neuropsychologist assessment and will most certainly have processing issues and dyslexia looked at. She CAN read...she is just very slow and does not comprehend much or remember what she reads. She does much better when she is read to. She still has a poor short term memory though. She was diagnosed with ADD when she badly flunked the TOVA test twice. Marg, excellent point that a lot of ADHD diagnoses are actually kids who are struggling with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD). I think this is also true, which would make social skills a bigger problem for those kids who are diagnosed with ADHD/ADD but are actually on the autism spectrum. In fact, I think this is a common mistake that diagnosticians make. Still, poor social skills is listed as a trait of ADHD. My daughter is not a class clown. She is just very in tune to people and seems to know exactly how to respond to them so that they are drawn to her. She is not an impulsive kid either. Her decisions are well thought out...it's all so puzzling. Maybe she does have ADD, but there is more going on than that. Why was her Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD) diagnosis removed? I really think school testing pretty much hoovers. It doesn't really get to the core issues and that holds our kids back from getting the proper help. It's very frustrating.I'm looking forward to the private neuropsychologist evaluation. School always tries to simplify everything...and I wonder if the psychologists they hire are really any good. PJ, my daughter just recently had a complete ophthalmology exam, but I"m going to look into a developmental ophthalmologist. Thanks for your feedback.
