[QUOTE="SRL, post: 53075, member: 701"] I would go for the neurologist plus go beyond the local hospital to find a neuropysch. If there's not one in the area insurance companies will often cover someone out of the system if you have a referral. You will rarely get as thorough of an evaluation from a psychiatrist and you've been that route already. If some AS symptoms do seem to fit, I would research that more fully just to be sure. The co-author of one of the most recent diagnostic tools for AS (the ASDS) told me that there's a lot more variation seen in AS than the diagnostic criteria suggest. Also, if he does lean in that direction but falls short of the criteria or is atypical, you can still find a ton of good help from that camp. Mine fits that description but thankfully the first diagnostician we saw put us on the right track. Also FYI, there are kids with ADHD who brush up against the spectrum. Whatever it is that is that's going on, I'd get the works done and get as clear of a picture as possible. [/QUOTE]
