[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 442882, member: 1550"] I agree that neither a pediatrician, even one who works with special needs kids, or a teacher of 25 years are qualified to diagnose. The Connors testing on it's own is not conclusive as many disorders mask as ADHD and also cause kids to get high Connor's scores. Bipolar disorder and autistic spectrum are just two of the other disorders that confuse pediatricians and teachers and make them say the c hild has ADHD. My favorite diagnostician is a neuropsychologist, but a child psychiatrist is in my opinion second best. I would definitely not take the diagnosis as gospel. Keep us posted and welcome! :) [/QUOTE]
