[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 340221, member: 1514"] Sounds like you have a wishy washy neuropsychologist doctor there. I dont think you can dictate what testing is to be done...at least that was my experience but I think I had somewhat of a weirdo too. I wasnt at all pleased with my experience with neuropsychologist testing so I dont think they are the end all, be all of diagnosing things but what is, I dont know. I have no idea how you would get everything you want answered as far as the edu bit for school. I guess if you could go in with a list of concerns that you want answers for and have her tested for those areas and if he would listen and test for those things...well...maybe that would be good. Maybe I can explain a bit better using myself as an example. I have a prior diagnosis of bipolar and borderline that is not in dispute but this neuropsychologist decided that she just "didnt see any signs of borderline in me" even though she only knew me for the few short hours she was testing me and the 6 weeks I was hospitalized after having meningitis. During the time I was hospitalized I was so out of my mind, I was almost childlike. I was simply not my normal self! Of course, I didnt present with my normal diagnosis's! She also wanted to label me with wanting to seek out medical conditions for myself because I researched what diagnosis's I did have and what medications I took. She told me I should stay off the internet and not look up so many things! Hogwash. I have never invented a medical condition. I beg them for less conditions! She really ticked me off. Even my therapist who has been treating me for years tried to talk to her and came away with the same conclusion that she simply didnt like anyone who appeared to question her authority. If I asked her about what a test was for, she assumed I was going to beat it in some way. I was just asking to know. I think she had some form of paranoia going on herself. LOL. [/QUOTE]
