Totally agree with this observation.  Daisy is great, as is Dr. Bleiberg in Bethesda.

Stixrud "used to be" the gold standard, but in my strong opinion that is no longer the case.  They truly operate like a factory, churning out evaluations.  Over the last 4 years they've managed to lose/push out three high profile, highly respected doctors.

My other HUGE beef with Stixrud is that the psychologist does not administer the evaluation on both days.  They have a grad student doing the first day of testing, then the grad student shares her/his findings with the doctor. The doc then conducts the second day of testing and also does the diagnosing.  
For $4K I want the psychologist involved face to face from the beginning to the end.

Someone else mentioned that fees for Stixrud start at $2500?  that is incorrect unless you're talking about 10 years ago?  Their evals start at $3500 and go up from there, especially if ASD is suspected.
