[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 221049, member: 1550"] A private neuropsychologist. There is no way I'd personally trust the school district and psychiatrists kept saying he had bipolar, even though he really isn't moody. In fact, most of the time he seems very contented and calm. It didn't make any sense to hub and I and he was put on heavy duty medications. I really like the way NeuroPsychs seem to have their feelers out for every disorder rather than focusing on one OR thinking "what medications can I give?" I always recommend neuropsychologist evaluations. They are 6-10 hours and include a lot of testing. Nobody else does that. They give you very intensive reports too. I would never trust a diagnosis that came from somebody who just listened to me give symptoms and didn't interact intensively and for long periods of time with my son. in my opinion that's not responsible. Yes, Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids can seem very social, but they are socially inappropriate. They are also usually NOT mentally slow, although sometimes they can't apply the things they learn in school. [/QUOTE]
