[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 595019, member: 11791"] JMO but... without REAL, solid dxes, I would be highly wary of medications too, except if you can't survive until the neuropsychologist appointment. Answers are critical, and medications DO cloud the waters, most of the time... the exception tends to be cases such as where there is a solid ADHD diagnosis, and some related testing works better if the ADHD kid is on ADHD medications that are working. For example, Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) testing is almost impossible on an unmedicated ADHD kid, because the degree of concentration is beyond what most of them could manage. Or a kid who is stable on medications for bi-polar... and you're testing for "additional" dxes... I think you get the picture. [/QUOTE]
