[quote=Anonymous]I have a 7 yr old with ASD/ADHD and my suggestion would be that you contact Kennedy Krieger, Children's, Stixrud, etc and make an appointment for an neuropsych evaluation.  It can take up to 6 months to get an appointment.  We use Dr. Black and recommend him highly but he does not take insurance:  You will have to pay out of pocket and file with your insurance for reimbursement.

Ask the tester to send you the teacher forms now instead of sending them close to your appointment so your DD's current teachers can fill them out instead of starting new when you get to the U.S.

With the right supports and services at school, your child's behavior can improve greatly.  Mine did.  Hang in there.

Since your DD does not have an IEP, she will not be able to get into an Asperger's program right away.  Also, she may not need to once she has an IEP.  So if I were you, I would choose the best public school.  Around here as pps have mentioned, Bethesda elementary is known to do inclusion well.

Good luck![/quote]
