[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 378259, member: 1991"] psychiatrist generally meeds a psychologist or psychiatrist. therapist is therapist. It sounds like the diagnosis is at least partly in the right direction. The runaround you describe unfortunately sounds fairly typical. People move (including doctors). We also had a diagnosis of ADHD that didn't explain everything, with difficult child 1. For years we asked questions and did not get answers tat helped. He was 14 before we got a diagnosis of Asperger's. Oh yes, on top of the ADHD. Girls are more difficult to diagnosis with Asperger's. Bright kids are harder to pinpoint with it too. But what you describe sounds to me, not inconsistent with Asperger's. To have a sneak peek (unofficial) go to [url]www.childbrain.com[/url] and look for their Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) questionnaire. Whatever the result, print it out and show the various people in your daughter's medical team. See if someone (especially psychiatric 2) is prepared to follow it up. Marg [/QUOTE]
