[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]KKI also diagnosed my DC with ADHD, not autism.

She has autism.

The misdiagnosis was a combination of an incompetent neuropsych, who had left by the time we went back, and the fact that she was just on the cusp of the two age group tests and originally was tested for the younger age. [/quote]

PP, I'm sorry for the wringer you've been through. I've wondered about this with our testing, which my child took as a young 5 - thorough testing including for ADHD. But the scale was for 5 to 12 year olds and I found some of it hard to answer like "is homework a struggle?" and "does he forget his homework?" - and other stuff I can't remember but basically there was no answer for Not Applicable because I got his backpack ready (wonder I fell into that?) or because he didn't have homework at the time.

I think my child has ADHD and mentioned at the time that I thought some of the q's on the scales were hard to answer. We continue on our journey and seeing a new-to-us developmental ped soon. We shall see.

Thank you for sharing your story. [/quote]
