[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Be careful of what you're doing - you're seeking a diagnosis but you're deciding in advance what diagnosis you'll accept. [/quote] +1. So who diagnosed the PDD-NOS? A pediatrician and Mary Camarata, who is a speech pathologist, are not qualified to diagnose or rule out ASDs.[/quote] Mary actually can diagnose autism. She has the specialized training that it requires. She's way beyond a garden variety SLP. She can give the ADOS, CARS and all the other autism diagnostic tests. [/quote] So did Mary rule out autism after she administered these tests? So tell the neuropsych that ASD has been ruled out. Don't see that OP has a problem. It's not a "given" in a neuropsych eval that they are going to diagnosis an issue (especially a BIG one like ASD) that does not exist.[/quote]
