[QUOTE="EB67, post: 45990, member: 3750"] You may want to see how Seb comes out on the scale. It's not official, but, when answered honestly, it's really a good predictor. [url="http://www.childbrain.com/pddassess.html"]http://www.childbrain.com/pddassess.html[/url] [/quote] Thanks-- I did that one last week. Seb scored 58. I may try to answer again, fresh and see what it says. You make a very good point about the imporrtance of a neuropsychologist for the diagnosis. In all fairness, the behavioral neuro said that BiPolar (BP) is not his area of expertise. I will set out today to find the right MD for the issue du jour. The scary part in all of this is the difficulty of a correct diagnosis and the margin for error if you medicate for the wrong disorder. I suppose though that testing Seb's reaction to the ritalin patch will help clarify if he is potentially BiPolar (BP). If he freaks out, one more point for BiPolar (BP). If the medications work for him, one point for garden variety ADHD / Sensory Integration Disorder (SID). [/QUOTE]
