[QUOTE="SRL, post: 136233, member: 701"] A neuropsychologist has a pHd and many hours of clinical training. Typically they will do 10+ hours of testing as part of the assessment. We have found that pediatric neuropsychologists or developmental pediatricians are far more likely to give accurate diagnoses than child psychiatrists because obviously they spend more time doing assessments. I do think you should pursue more thourough testing. We like to see these little guys see one of the two specialists I just mentioned plus speech and Occupational Therapist (OT) to cover the big bases. Does he have problems sleeping? Are there any speech delays or differences? Does he seem overly sensitive to things like tags in clothing, noises, bright lights, etc? Does he line up toys or other household objects? How has bonding been between the two of you--was there anything such as illness or post-partum depression that could have gotten in the way of that? [/QUOTE]
