[QUOTE="Ltlredhen, post: 10424, member: 2123"] I myself wouldn't put much stock in anything the school psychologist says. I've recently run across one that has "diagnosed" my difficult child (diagnosis'ed by 1 neuropsychologist and 3 different child psychiatrists in the last 18 months with bipolar) and my great neice (diagnosis'ed by a developmental pediatrician in a very large and well known childrens hospital with Asperger's) as both having "Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)". Oh and did I also mention that this same woman just changed her mind and in an re-evaluation 5 months later has descided that my difficult child does not have Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)?. Guess that 5 minute re-evaluation gave her great insight. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/919Mad.gif[/img] So, I would take any diagnosis (given by someone not legally licensed to give such a thing) with a grain of salt. Go to someone who has spent years trained in this area like a child psychiatrist. Just keep plugging away, you will find help. Sorry, can you tell I've had enough of psychologists for a while?
