[quote=Anonymous]I feel for you OP. My DS was diagnosed with ADHD through neuropsych at 7 but there is definitely more going on. He was a preemie and low birth weight, so with those risk factors, it's been on my radar from the beginning. When we redid our neuropsych at 12, I asked that he be evaluated for ASD. He's had several teachers who think he's autistic, but no clinician he's seen since birth: dev peds, neuropsychologists, etc. believe that to be the case. He got a different diagnosis at this most recent neuropsych. I still wonder if ASD may show up more clearly as he gets older. I don't know. I think there is a lot of crossover once you are neurodivergent in some way, and a lot we don't know about the brain. There is also denial in parents, and bias in evaluators. I think the best you can do is go with your gut, and do the interventions that make the most sense to who you know your child to be.[/quote]
