[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?

Me, so I've debated answering the OP that yes, I regret getting it (though I really don't).

I wanted my 13yo screened for inattentive ADHD largely for my own sanity, not for any academic accommodations. Child does well in school, but hyperfocuses on a few interests, is emotionally reactive and really struggles with following instructions (acknowledges them, but immediately spaces and forgets nine times out of ten). Executive function almost nonexistent. I was hoping to confirm that these tendencies were outside the realm of normal (I have other kids for whom all of these traits apply occasionally, but not this consistently) and hopefully get guidance/strategies in place before the higher demands of high school.

Neuropsych concluded bright kid, no ADHD. Which still, honestly, makes no sense to me.[/quote]

I am the PP (post before yours, not the one you are replying to).

This is so similar to our situation. Did you get a full neuropsychological evaluation or just for inattentive ADHD? And were you ever able to figure out what the underlying issue is? We still don’t have all the answers for our child.[/quote]

We did hours of testing (started with a Vanderbilt, then all of the behavioral/anxiety/executive function/intelligence tests for which I no longer remember the acronyms).

No answers, except that we still have a kid who mostly requires multiple reminders, while getting really annoyed at multiple reminders even though one rarely does the trick.

So, I dunno.[/quote]
