[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Please believe me when I say he is sneaky. But regardless, I just want a solution. He's on a runaway train and no one can help. Please please tell me who the best neuropsych is anywhere. We will travel anywhere. And curious, why is a neuropsychologist better than a psychiatrist?

We are seeing Catherine McCarthy presently.[/quote]

I would take him to Dr. David Black who is a neuropsychiatrist for an evaluation.   He is an expert on ASD/HFA/Asperger's and is affiliated with NIH.  You may have to wait til next yr to see him however.

OP - I agree partly with this referral.  David Black works with Dr. Bill Stixrud.  Stixrud is a highly regarded practice, and there are many docs to choose from - a few however have a preference in the type of child they evaluate.  Dr. Black for example is more of an ASD doctor while Dr. Stixrud himself is expert at diagnosing very difficult cases.  Dr S has a one year wait list but get on the list and keep in touch with his wife Starr as she controls his calendar.  If she likes you and thinks that Bill can help you  - she has the ability to move you up that list.

Like I said, There are other doctors available - all of them very good. another one that comes to mind is Susan Hammond.  call stixrud's office and schedule an intake.  Their intake person will dig deeper with you into what's possibly going on and she can tell you which doctor is best suited for your DS.  Most of the other doctors have a 3-6 month wait.  [/quote]
