[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - I found a previous post which provided some good information about the difference between the 2.

Do school evaluations assess for things like adhd or asd?  or is it just achievement based?

Some things we are seeing in our 8th grader (and this has been consistent for the last 4yrs):
- perfectionism 
- tests very well
- exceptional memory for facts, deficient memory for everyday things
- takes 4-5x longer for homework, spends 3-5hrs on homework nightly
- needs extra time at home to complete work that was supposed to be completed in school
-will receive A+ across the board - except for instances where she forgot to turn an assignment in or forgot to write her name on the assignment
- time management issues
- self-care issues
- easily distracted - example - she has 10 minutes to get ready for school, but she is stuck in her room just staring into her drawers or looking at the dust in her plant, or something else. 
- stubborn and oppositional
- socially withdrawn, has not made any friends since 3rd grade (when I essentially forced those connections for her)
- emotionally reactive[/quote]

No, schools cannot test for ADHD or ASD.  They can fill out screeners for your Neuropsych provider though. You want the outside provider.  What you are describing sounds a lot like ASD and ADHD.
