[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do any neuropsych evals ever come back and say the child is neurotypical? Has anyone here actually had that outcome for their own child?

Not anyone I know.

Most of the time, there is something parents are concerned about and evaluator confirms it. That would be a win-win.

[b]But in some instances evaluators tried to cherry pick information just to come up with a random diagnosis that, only to them, kind of makes sense.[/b][/quote]

What makes you say this? Is this from what other parents have told you? Or just shameless speculation? [/quote]

Our own firsthand observation with one of the providers, and some of the friends shared the information in sufficient detail.

I think that evaluators who are insecure with their own work are sometimes either unwilling to admit that they don’t have an answer or are ashamed to admit they made a mistake. And, please don’t feign a surprise that this happens and that parents sometimes don’t have to look for second opinions because the first one did not make sense.

It is OK not to have an answer and propose additional testing or wait-and-see approach if applicable. What is not OK is to rush to give an opinion prematurely, or to ignore evidence that contradicts their diagnosis.[/quote]
