[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For that - autism + LD - you will need a neuropsych exam. A dev ped can't do all that. Many LDs can't be confirmed until a child is 6 or older. Autism can be diagnosed earlier. Many recommend not worrying so much about the diagnosis at this point but to focus on therapies to address the current issues. What has your current dev ped suggested you do?[/quote] A developmental pediatrician can diagnose autism. Stims are quite common, and not really relevant to having a neuropsych evaluation. OP, try seeing if behavioral therapy is covered under your insurance. If you have an ADHD diagnosis, it most likely will be. However, a lot of therapists don't address stims unless the child is hurting themselves or its something like keeping a quiet voice in a classroom for example. Even if that were the case, you'd be using positive reinforcement. Children shouldn't be punished for stimming.[/quote]
