[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 62956, member: 1550"] I was lucky to FINALLY get a diagnosis. that fits. I think that many Warrior Moms go thru hell and back and don't get a diagnosis that makes any sense. Since I had so much trouble with wrong diagnosis, treatment and medications of my son, I am very leery of snap diagnosis., and I learned not to babble my own ideas to "professionals." They tend to give me what I want, diagnosis.-wise. Too bad there are no blood tests! It's a guess every time. We just have to do the best we can. For us, that was a neuropsychologist. At least he saw my son for a prolonged period of time, and tested him extensively, before jumping to a diagnosis. And you know what? He was actually RIGHT. My son couldn't be more autistic--I'm appalled that two MDEs and three Psychiatrists missed it. It's scary how fast they threw "ADHD" and "Bipolar" at us. Of course, nobody actually tested my son to the extent that the neuropsychologist did, not even the MDE was as intensive. However, at least after the MDE they DID say "autistic trait" although they stuck to "bipolar." Almost four years off medications, I know this child is not a mood-disordered kid. It's really scary how the psychiatrists, no matter how good, can make mistakes that can cost your kids years of their lives. [/QUOTE]
