[quote=Anonymous]I had similar concerns about my now-14 yo. We thought she might have autism or ADHD and finally got a neuropsych last year. Her therapist (who she was seeing for ADHD- the Vanderbilt forms had indicated ADHD) thought she had autism or OCD and she still has meltdowns, is rigid, is super messy and forgetful, etc. Turns out she has anxiety disorder, but no other diagnoses (not even ADHD). She's just a quirky, somewhat prickly, but interesting kid who tries really hard in her way to be a good person. I still think the neuropsych was worth it, to get a better sense of my child, but I think there is definitely an over-pathologizing these days (at least by laypeople) of the normal range of human behaviors.
