I'm thinking that nobody knows what's wrong with your son. Psychiatrists don't usually do testing. I would go to a neuropsychologist and not fiddle around with the school district (that probably knows less than the psychiatrist). The school districts tend to just not diagnosis. right and I personally don't trust them. He won't improve by getting every diagnosis. in the book thrown at him--to me that sort of says "we don't know so we'll make sure we say he has EVERYTHING." If he has social delays, I'd really be looking hard at Aspergers and see a neuropsychologist who is best equipped to diagnose those sorts of things (and everything else too). They do 6-10 hours of testing and have no outside agendas, like the school districts do. School districts want to hold back on supports to save $$$. You need somebody who has nothing to do with the district. JMO from long, hard work at this

[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 253194, member: 1550"] I'm thinking that nobody knows what's wrong with your son. Psychiatrists don't usually do testing. I would go to a neuropsychologist and not fiddle around with the school district (that probably knows less than the psychiatrist). The school districts tend to just not diagnosis. right and I personally don't trust them. He won't improve by getting every diagnosis. in the book thrown at him--to me that sort of says "we don't know so we'll make sure we say he has EVERYTHING." If he has social delays, I'd really be looking hard at Aspergers and see a neuropsychologist who is best equipped to diagnose those sorts of things (and everything else too). They do 6-10 hours of testing and have no outside agendas, like the school districts do. School districts want to hold back on supports to save $$$. You need somebody who has nothing to do with the district. JMO from long, hard work at this ;) [/QUOTE]
