[QUOTE="keista, post: 437398, member: 11965"] To my knowledge, NO. They are NOT doctors They can treat her as if she has it, even set up IEP or 504, but eventually a Dr will have to make it "official" to satisfy eligibility requirements. The only evaluations son has had regarding Asperger's have been through the school. I'm good with that and they set up the IEPs and everything was fine. At a certain grade (2nd or 3rd) I was told that at this age they needed to get an "official" Dr diagnosis. No insurance, no money, so when I took him for his annual physical, I took ALL the evaluations, and asked the Dr to sign off on them. She actually sat down and spent 45 minutes reading all of them. She signed off on it and that's how son got "official" Now that he has insurance, we are going to try and get an 'official" evaluation and diagnosis. No, neuropsychologist is not on the table yet. Best I have right now is a neurologist and still have to wait 2-3 months. [/QUOTE]
