[quote=Anonymous]Of course not. My son has had a lot of tests in his life, but he got a neuropsych at 17 so that his diagnoses would be considered current for college accommodations. It turned up a new diagnosis, on top of the ones he already had, and this new one also got him a single room with private bath: ASD. We always knew he was a little sprectrumy, and he was already receiving services and accommodations at school for his ADHD, so we had not thought of getting a formal ASD diagnosis. But turns out, it came in useful. In your son's case, it appears that if his teachers haven't hinted at any issues before, and you're wondering if you need testing, that his ADHD is mild. I can tell you my son's issues were evident in preschool - no one could miss them. But even mild ADHD could benefit from help at school and in college, so please do that. Hurry, because the process can take time. [/quote]
