[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 91063, member: 1550"] in my humble opinion Neuropsychs do awesome testing, BUT I wouldn't go to anybody that is tied to the school. My experience is that school directed professionals tend to have an agenda and are not as non-biased as private ones, who have no allegiance to the school district. My son had similar issues to yours and the Psychiatrist got him wrong, but the neuropsychologist nailed him really well. The school--ugh, they didn't even come close. You know how it is. If there's a diagnosis they don't want your son to have, it will cost them $$$ for services. I don't trust anybody linked to the SD to give an honest assessment of the problems. You can find private NeuroPsychs at Childrens and University hospitals. As the kids get older, it is easier to get an accurate diagnosis. It is sometimes just too early to have a clear picture when they are very young. in my opinion your son doesn't have a behavior problem, although it may look that way. Perhaps he has some serious Learning Disability (LD) problems or is on the high end of the autism spectrum. Did your child have any speech or motor delays? Does your child socialize well with peers his age? Does your child play appropriately with toys? Make good eye contact? My son's first diagnosis. was ADHD/ODD too, but that was wrong. I'd dig deeper.
