[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 125691, member: 1550"] I would see a neuropsychologist just exactly because of what SRL said. Bipolar and Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) can look identical sometimes, and you need somebody with more knowledge than a therapist (although NeuroPsychs are really good) to do the testing and diagnosing. I personally don't like when psychiatrists start medications because a thorough assessment is done because certain medications can make certain disorders worse. I think SRL is right on the money. Tdocs, even nice ones, are not the best diagnosticians from my long, long experience. I would use them for therapy only, not for diagnosing. I'm always suspicious of "SEVERE" ADHD. I don't trust that diagnosis. If it's beyond normal ADHD, I always think they're missing something else. [/QUOTE]
