[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 61625, member: 1550"] I can't believe I forgot to mention that a neuropsychologist evaluation is very intensive and picks up stuff other professionals miss. If she's on the Spectrum, an IEP needs to include things like social skills, life skills, and often other accomodations. My son is in Special Education for one of his periods, and, if he smells bad, his teacher will make him take a shower!!!! That has made such an impression on him that he is cleaner now, although I'm not sure he'll ever "get" that good hygiene is important...lol. He isn't in spec. ed because he has a low iQ--his IQ is average. He's there to learn the simple things that most kids pick up in life (like brushing teeth and how to have a give-and-take conversation). I can't tell you how much it has helped him socially. He is well liked at school, although he prefers being alone when he's home (I think he can't handle too much socializing--it overstimulates him). Even bright Spectrum kids often need some help in getting work completed. It's a whole different ballgame from a psychiatric disorder. I hope you find out what's wrong. I am not saying she's on the Spectrum, but counseling hasn't worked so far and she seems "quirky", much like an Aspie. I would definitely want to see a neuropsychologist who is best able to rule it in or out. In the meantime, he can pick up other problem areas, even if she isn't on the Spectrum. Take care! [/QUOTE]
