[QUOTE="Fran, post: 37988, member: 3"] <span style='font-size: 11pt'>I don't know if your son is an Aspie or on the spectrum or not. I do know that both of my son's have had a neuropsychologist evaluation for different reasons. One with Aspie traits and one without. Both boys had different neuropsychs. One in a Children's Hospital and one in private practice. Both had over 7 hrs of testing broken up. There was a very involved written summary about what was rulled out and why. What were out of the realm of normal and why. I would probably consider another neuropsychologist that has more experience with neuropsychologist testing and evaluating. Just because the statistics may be over blown doesn't mean my kid doesn't have it. It's not my kids job to deflate the published statistics. The dr.s. job is to evaluate and help create a treatment plan. Hopefully a second opinion will concur with what your first said although I disagree with the idea of an aspie answer and non aspie answer. The range is pretty wide.
