[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 26300, member: 1550"] From my long experience with psychiatric and neurological personnel (I have bipolar II and my son is on the autism spectrum) I would only see a Psychiatrist with the MD (the doctor) and a neuropsychologist (a Psycologist trained in the brain--they do EXTENSIVE testing and were actually more accurate about both me and my son than the Psychiatrists). I wouldn't mess with anybody less credentialed and highly recommend seeing both for a clear picture. Too many, especially therapists, snap their fingers and make a diagnosis without any testing. That leads to wrong diagnosis. The School Districts tend to miss the boat too, and, in my opinion, aren't to be trusted to diagnose behavioral issues. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
