[QUOTE="ksm, post: 685271, member: 12511"] we had a neuropsychologist exam about 4 years ago. I had to jump thru insurance hoops to even get it done. I don't think they would pay for a second one. But, we didn't get what I would consider a good exam. Basically she thought Difficult Child and I needed family counseling... We did not get any good useable info... We got the waiver for Medicaid because her behavior had deteriorated, then she took a handful of pills. Last fall I did get her in to a FASD clinic and they diagnosis her as static encephalopathy, alcohol exposed. But the psychologist we see now uses DMDD, depression and anxiety. Professionals want to skip the SE diagnosis. Some have asked me if Difficult Child had brain scans to prove it. I have tried to explain to people how she can't finish anything, lives in the moment, can't plan or organize. The FASD clinic just jaw a panel that reviews their records, had us comp,eye questionnaires, interviewed us, took photos of her face and computer analyzed it. They gave us a packet of info, and told us to apply for social security disability. They don't work with patients after diagnosis. They had suggestions... Others just see a cute, articulate young woman... Ksm [/QUOTE]
