[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you done a neuropsych evaluation?  I know a lot of people react to hostility with this question, but really it's helpful to eliminate possible causes and get answers.[/quote]

We haven’t. I actually didn’t even realize this is something we should do. I’ll definitely check this out. [/quote]

I would.  My kid started repetitive behaviors.  The neuropsychological evaluation helped us pinpoint that it wasn't autism.  Helped us pinpoint that it was actually OCD.  Still not ideal, but at least we know where to focus efforts.

My niece has ADHD and dyslexia diagnosed through a neuropsychological evaluation.  Her anxiety was greatly reduced by appropriate interventions.

Your kid could have just anxiety or anxiety related to something else.  It may make a difference if you try medication.  Our insurance paid for half of the evaluation.  Definitely worthwhile.[/quote]

OP here, it's interesting that you mentioned dyslexia.  My DD was diagnosed with dyslexia last year.  Who do you go through for a neuropsych evaluation?  Should I go through my pediatrician?[/quote]
