[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 84892, member: 1991"] Yep. Martie's got it in one. This result doesn't exclusively indicate ADHD, there are still a number of conditions which would give the same responses. But if your psychiatrist STILL insists that difficult child doesn't need evaluating, ask for another opinion. From someone else, that is (sorry - old joke). And I'd also be getting VERY angry at the time lost for difficult child, in heads banged against the wall, in futility, in difficult child's inability to manage his time and other aspects of school, in what this is doing to difficult child as well as what this inactivity on the psychiatrist's part is also doing to difficult child's teachers. Kjs - DO make sure you photocopy those forms before you hand them back to the psychiatrist. I'm visualising a worst case scenario here, where psychiatrist says, "Thank you," for the forms then promptly buries them, all the while refusing to accept that an evaluation is needed. You would then have to do it all over again with a new psychiatrist, including getting the teachers to fill things in all over again - a lot of wasted time. I know you've said you are documenting everything - I mention this just in case you hadn't thought to copy these. And of course, by Murphy's Law - if you copy these for your own files, you won't need t hem. If you DON'T copy them, you will need them for sure and won't be able to get them! Good luck. How does it feel to at last be vindicated in your parental concerns? Ya know that tantrum you carefully didn't throw for the VP? Well, now's the time to throw one, for the psychiatrist. Marg [/QUOTE]
