[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Trust your gut and get the neuropsych. Pediatricians and therapists are not trained to diagnose. You know what you see. [/quote]

Yes they are trained to diagnose. But a neuropsych takes 6months/year and provides zero therapy. Save the time and money and go straight to therapy. [/quote]

No. The pediatrician can’t diagnose what’s going on here.

OP says they’ve been doing therapy and it’s not helping. That means they need to do more, not less.

OP, while you work on getting a neuropsych, see if you can get a referral to a psychiatrist from your pediatrician. Your daughter may need anti anxiety meds, or other meds to help her.

My son was a lot like this (exhausting to parent but perfect at school), and he has ASD. Diagnosed at 11 because no one would listen to me before then. [/quote]

that “more” is better therapy. she hasn’t been getting appropriate therapy for anxiety or parenting support. it’s malpractice to recommend sitting around waiting for a “neuropsych” opening when she should be accessing better therapy. [/quote]
