[quote=Anonymous]You are the parent. You can be the recipient of misdiagnoses for your child, but still do what you think is right - decline recommended therapies, decline or ask for specific meds, accept or decline educational options. there is nothing about going to a doctor or neuropsych for evaluation that means you will have to DO anything you don't think is correct. Educate yourself. There is so much available online now, you can also do research on your child's issues, but just be careful to stick to reputable sources. I write as a parent who has dealt with misdiagnoses of a family member; in the field of mental health, misdiagnosis is not infrequent. I also have a child with a language disorder which is frequently misdiagnosed as something else. I would do a neuropsych eval. More information is helpful, even though you might not agree with some overall conclusions or recommendations.[/quote]
