[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 44148, member: 2423"] Hi Ella, my kids see a behavioral neurologist for migraines, and he's as versed in psychiatric medications as their psychiatrists (my kids have mood issues, not autistic spectrum disorders). He was the one who recommended that they undergo MRIs and EEGs to rule out seizure disorders. For medication management and psychotherapy, my kids see psychiatrists weekly. They have also undergone intensive testing by a neuropsychologist, who is a psychologist with special training in how the brain functions. As MWM mentioned, neuropsychologists do intensive testing (8 hours in my daughter's case, 10 hours in my son's case) to assess cognitive and psychological functioning. Tests can include evaluating IQ (like the WISC-IV), achievement (like Woodcock-Johnson-III), executive function, motor integration, personality/psychological, etc. Has Seb had any private testing? If not, I'm sure the behavioral neurologist can recommend a good neuropsychologist. What did the behavioral neurologist say at your appointment today? [/QUOTE]
