[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 42098"] Poor baby. I hope you're able to find some answers soon. I always start with a therapist. You only get an hour with psychiatrist (around here anyway) and that's just not enough time to make a definitive diagnosis. The appts after that are only 15 minutes for medication checks. When you start with a therapist, they will send info to the psychiatrist based on their observations for the psychiatrist to use when evaluating your child. Psychologists can diagnosis, by the way. MSW's cannot legally diagnosis (at least that's how it is in Ohio), however my difficult child's therapist is a MSW and she was the first person after 6 years of therapy (some with psychologists) to pick up on the sensory issues and executive function issues and refer us to a neuropscyh. Good luck. Keeping my fingers crossed. Keep us posted. [/QUOTE]
