[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I get the sense that you don't want the personality disorder diagnoses to be true, so you would much rather her had ADHD or autism as those are more accepted and can sometimes be medicated with great results. A second opinion can't hurt, but, [b]it also doesn't sound like this doctor do a shoddy job of conducting assessments, you just don't like the result.[/b] If your DD is a covert narc, you are totally screwed and that is likely scaring you enough to convince yourself that the diagnosis is incorrect. If it is NPD and BPD, the doctor is correct in that she needs intensive therapy, possibly CBT or DBT and hopefully she can become a somewhat better person. I have a mother with NPD and a best friend I am slowly trying to detach from that has BPD. I understand not wanting to believe the diagnosis because you can't just abandon your child and those are personality disorders that often do not get better, even with therapy.[/quote] OP here, what makes you say this? Almost every other post here is encouraging DD to get a second evaluation and is telling me that she almost certainly has AuDHD. [/quote] Not the PP you are replying to but you are comparing the opinion of a neuropsychologist who specializes in autism in girls and examined and assessed your daughter to the recommendations of internet strangers with varied personal experiences with special needs based only on a list of characteristics that is filtered through your perception of what you think her diagnoses are. I would find a specialist in personality disorders and see what their impression is from the report and from personally assessing your DD.[/quote]
