[quote=Anonymous]OP, your teen doesn't really HAVE a diagnosis. An IQ test is not sufficient to establish HFA. It's just not. Therapy is not sufficient, either. Essentially, what you need to decide is whether you want to have your teen get a full psychoeducational evaluation. Are there no other professionals in your teens life (teachers, counselors) who could weigh in on that question? If your teen has an ADHD diagnosis, how has that affected functioning at school? What kind of accommodations has your teen received, and under what format (504 or IEP)? Do you believe that your teen might need support services in college, for which you need to establish eligibility through a full psycho-educational report? (I'm thinking especially for assignments involving presentations and speaking before a group, for example.) You might address this question to the KWSN forum--where you will probably find folks who have BTDT.[/quote]
