[quote=Anonymous]There is no question that serious concerns need to be examined seriously and formally assessed as soon as the child is old enough. Developmental pediatricians are appropriate for ages 0-5, and psychologists are appropriate from 5 and up. When it comes to that grey area with mild symptoms... please, OP, trust your instincts. Observe and monitor. I have a whole story about my (doctor) husband who refused to acknowledge his son's severe ADHD and autism, partly because he has the same issues. Essentially I had to have a complete fit and threaten all manner of things so that he agree to a full neuropysch when DS was 10, depressed and failing in school. We turned it around, but I will never forget the years of denial my husband went through. [/quote]
