[QUOTE="Verucalise, post: 419297, member: 11616"] Thank you, DDD. We are in the midst of this now. He is in the final steps of the Asperger testing, meeting with the psychologist this Tuesday to definitely diagnose him. And I think the school's psychologist did a good job, honestly. He many tests, and we actually found my son is close to gifted in a few things, as well as a little advanced in others. He found my son's short term memory problems, he found his spelling issues, and he also noted the speech issues- the expressive language problems. I just think that Teacher A put her 15 minutes of fame into the GADS questionaire and the psychologist took her word for everything. She already had her mindset on Aspergers 3 weeks before testing even STARTED. I feel like I should of had the chance to speak my input, as this teacher only sees him his most frustrated; I have a completely different child at home. I'd done everything and more that the psychologist at the school recommended; nothing besides ADD and anxiety has come back! All of his evaluators comment how GREAT he is, he's a trooper for lasting hours at a time thru these tests, being able to know when he needs a break and asking for one. They fell in love with him. I think this teacher, who has been teaching for all of THREE years, is full of herself. I have half a mind to make my point known when this all comes out LOL. [/QUOTE]
