[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 218875, member: 1550"] A pediatrician does not have that extra training in childhood disorders. I wouldn't trust the diagnosis of a pediatrician. And, frankly, I prefer NeuroPsychs over Psychiatrists myself. There is no way to reliably diagnose a child the way your pediatrician did, but it seems that something is going on with your child if everyone is complaining. So he should be evaluated. in my opinion NeuroPsychs do the best, most intensive testing and give you the most accurate results. I'm glad you found us and have a few questions that will help us help you. First of all, you may want to do a signature on the bottom of the page like I did. 1/Are there any mood disorders or other psychiatric problems on either side of the family tree? Any substance abuse? Does your son rage? Have nightmares? Does he have an phobias? 2/How was your son's early development in: speech eye contact with strangers large and fine motor skills how did and does he interact with his peers Is he socially appropriate? Does he have issues with textures, flavors, light, loud noise, etc. How is he doing academically? Did he play normally with toys? How is his imaginative play? Did he ever copy and recite cartoons on television or television shows? Any obsessive interests? Others will come along. [/QUOTE]
