[QUOTE="'Chelle, post: 137880, member: 1161"] I would suggest as nvts mentioned, that you check with the psychiatrist's office and see if there was anything further that was recommended, like she was requesting reports. And and as everyone else mentioned, you need to look into further testing and 2nd opinions. When we went to our first appointment with our psychiatrist, who is also one of the leading developmental disorder people in our city, before the appointment date she had us fill out a several page report, got a report from his therapist that he'd been seeing about 8 months, got a report filled in by his teacher. Then at the appointment she talked with the whole family, then him alone, then us alone and this took about 90 minutes. We then had a 2nd appointment of about an hour. I don't think a 1/2 hour appointment is enough to diagnosis anything. While you're checking into getting further appointments with neuropsychologist, you might want to check out the FAQ/Board Help forum on doing a parent report. I find if have everything written down in advance, I don't have to try remember off the top of my head all the concerns I have. If I don't I always forget things that may be important and remember them later when we've already gone [/QUOTE]
