[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 129060, member: 1550"] Teachers are educators, not diagnosticians. Do you feel that anyone has figured out what is really wrong with your child or are you still doubtful? If so, I'd take her to a neuropsychologist (they do intensive testing) and find out once and for all. They can be wrong, but usually they are so thorough that they are far more "right" than any other professionals. Rather than thinking the teacher was gutsy, I think was way out of line. She has no training to diagnose any child. I'd have been ticked and would have told her to stick to teaching. See a neuropsychologist :) If you think she may be having seizures then see a Neurologist too (no, they are not the same sort of professional. One tests for psychiatric/neurological (like ADHD/autism spectrum) disorders, the other for tangible ones, like epilepsy). [/QUOTE]
