[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see a lot of numbers and facts being randomly thrown around here.

I would want to know with specificity if my child had ADHD (a disorder with medical and behavioral treatments for which there is strong evidence that a large proportion of children can grow out of) and ASD (a disorder with very different treatments that is lifelong generally). I would also want to know with specificity why the doctor did not consider any of the assessments deemed reliable (like ADOS) were not conclusive. If the diagnosis was dual I would expect to know how he found that, with specificity, not just "these kids look the same."[/quote]

I think the point PPs are trying to make is that even if you got a detailed explanation from a doctor you might not have the crystal clear answer you are seeking. It's possible another doctor may give you a different explanation for why he believes in a different diagnosis. From your language it sounds like you would find comfort in an ADHD diagnosis versus an ASD diagnosis. I'm not sure this is the right way to look at things. [/quote]
