[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 534587, member: 11791"] psychiatrist = psychiatrist. These are usually responsible for managing medications... if you get a really good one, they might help pull together a complex diagnosis (for example, if others have already ruled out all sorts of things and it comes down to Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) or not... a psychiatrist can make that call). therapist = psychologist, clinical social worker, etc. - a "talk" doctor. Comprehensive evaluations are not usually done by either of these (although our best one was done by phd-level therapist). Usually neuropsychologist, or a team - child developmental, or child behavioral, usually out of a childrens' or teaching hospital. Most of us need access to all three... but psychiatrist + therapist = long-term support. [/QUOTE]
