[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid did get diagnosed with ADHD by a psychologist and I do "joke" that anyone who walks in would get a diagnosis, but at the same time, it's a self selective group going in.  You wouldn't be there in the first place unless you had concerns.

This is what I was saying. My son himself is fine where we are with a psychologist. But wondering if we self selected by walking in to Neuropsychologist (was unclear the correct name as I have not been) would we receive a diagnosis. The mom who went for her child used Neurologist term and several other moms who have kids with autism or LD I have met.

By brain scan or mri whichever is a better term I meant, that autism displays on a scan of the brain on how it functions differently than NT. Same with addictions, ADHD. One mom I know had her kid diagnosed with autism with a speech delay and 5 mins. There were no more visits. Not that he doesn’t have delays or another Ld but how under those circumstances is that diagnosis correct? So again does every kid who walks in get this diagnosis? I guess it’s seems that perhaps some can be incorrectly by self selecting.
