[QUOTE="ksm, post: 675134, member: 12511"] InsaneCdn, I went back and read thru the neuropsychologist evaluation, and on the first day of testing she said that J was uninterested and not well engaged, but did have more appropriate demeanor on the 2nd day of testing. She actually had a neuropsychologist intern do the actual testing of J. To get to see the neuropsychologist, we had to have the school do the IQ testing first, and the school psychologist was a real jerk, in my opinion. She didn't seem to want to do the testing because J was not reported as a behavior problem. In my opinion, that meant she didn't fight or cause major problems at school. But all her teachers mentioned her inability to focus and stay on task. When she was testing J, and J asked her why she had to take the IQ exam, this "professional" actually said: "the same reason I have to give you the test, because your grandma said so." Plus, the behaviors at 12 and 13 don't seem as severe as the same behaviors in a person who is almost 18. And the results of poor behavior are worse consequences now than 4 years ago! Then, she might have hid in the girls room and missed class. Now, she might leave school property with some one with a car. Then, J was more denying that she had a problem, at least now she will admit the struggle to keep on task, and she loses everything, not just homework. Including cell phones, chargers, money, purses, drivers license. Maybe the DMDD (mood disorder) is part of her frustration with trying to cope with things. She gets easily angry and frustrated when she doesn't get her way. The panel tried to reassure her that she is smart, and can do most things she wants to do, but she needs to have some structure and organizational help to remember assignments, appts, dates, etc. But in the past, she has fought and denied she needed any help.
