[quote=Anonymous]A “neuropsych” is not actually a diagnostic test. It cannot diagnose ADHD (or autism). Are you talking about actual diagnostics like the ADOD or Vanderbilt? We did the Vanderbilt and there was no ADHD found. The teachers all rated him as within normal for activity & focus. The actual neuropsychology tests showed some very low processing speed subscores which I guess can be indicative of “executive function” weaknesses and ADHD. But honestly I find the discussion of “executive function” to be very vague and over-inclusive when it comes to neuropsych results. Eg some sources will say “it’s deficits in working memory!” Well my kid had super high working memory … others will say “it’s slow processing speed!” But I still have not gotten an explanation for why slow processing speed causes my child to never bring papers home … [/quote]
