[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 37777, member: 3419"] The dr. kind of asked the same Q you did. He looked at the paperwork for the tests we already had done. He was not impressed... I think he said, "Oh, so it's just the psycho-social testing." ("Just" being the operative word.) I know, he may have jumped the gun, but some of this is a combo of all the tests [i]and[/i] clinical experience. I plan to have more testing done. These tests may not be in the proper order, but as you know, you have to take the appts. when they come. I can always go back and/or get a 2nd opinion. Interestingly, I discovered that diagnosis isn't just medical, it's philosopical. (Sort of like the discussions we've had here.) The dr commented that "Asperger's is very overdiagnosed." I immediately thought of that front page article a cpl wks ago where the headline read, "1 in 150 children said to be autistic." I thought, hmm... how much of this is true science and how much is that we're still learning about this stuff and won't really know for another 100 yrs? So, yes, I'd like to have more testing done, especially since I noticed on one of the old tests that difficult child's IQ was only 97. I know he's way beyond that. Regular IQ tests aren't designed for kids who don't have proper brain integration. difficult child has had so much tutoring and has come such a long way in the past yr, I know his brain pathways have changed.
