[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 589550, member: 1550"] Yep. Therapists are not good diagnosticians.They don't have the schooling. They wouldn't really know if a child had, say, high functioning Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) or reactive attachment disorder or ADHD or anything. And, as we all know here, behavioral therapists and play therapists don't work often on our differently wired kids. And we don't know if she had a hard first few years, which also matters. Lots of stuff comes into play. I'll stand my ground on a full evaluation and I prefer neuropsychs. I'm not a fan of therapists at all, except in conjunction with a psychiatrist (the big guy with the MD). I'm in the mental health system myself and you really have to look long and hard for a therapist who is good, but neuropsychs tend to really get a grasp on things and I've had many good psychiatrists in my life. I'm 60 so I've had a few as some have quit and I have moved around, etc. I wish my parents had helped me early on. It made things worse for me to first start when I left home. And I had such a bad image of myself too. I believe in early intervention. [/QUOTE]
