[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 607031, member: 1550"] A neurologist is very different from a neuropsychologist and I've had my son see both. There was really no behavioral testing by the neurologist. He did a c-t scan to make sure there was no tumors and he tested him for epilepsy. The neuropsychologist did ten hours of intensive testing in all areas. Now everyone has a different experience, but the neuropsychologist pretty much nailed my son and things improved a lot after we knew what was actually wrong with him. The school was much more cooperative too once he had the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) diagnosis. Before that, the school was "iffy" on helping and everything was a battle and it frankly was exhausting!. His neurologist did not find any epilepsy and there was no tumor. That was the extent of how he tested. MD's don't usually get involved in behavioral testing. I'd call the office to ask exactly what type of testing he is going to have. Doesn't seem like your pediatrician really wants him to be tested for things such as ADHD/autistic spectrum/mood disorders/learning disabilities, etc. [/QUOTE]
