I had less reason to test my kids and I did it anyway.  We did a neurodevelopmental exam - 8 hours at 4-5yrs old for each kid.  It revealed so many things, among them was all my kids are gifted and high anxiety, one is 2e.  This helped us to support them in school.  One of my other kids had a sensory issue.  Usually the remediation is minimal when you catch problems young.  Just do the exam if you can.[/quote]

This is a very odd take. If your child actually has autism or ADHD it’s not going to be “minimal remediation.” The interventions need to be guided by the symptoms- and a neuropsych is not something you do unless the simpler assessments aren’t guiding interventions well enough. I guess maybe rich people can shell out $5k for their basically NT kids every year but that’s not going to work for most of us.

The most tangible thing OP mentioned in fine motor and it’s very easy to go to an OT and get a fine motor assessment and services.

The crying jags honestly don’t seem that abnormal but if there is still concern, make an appointment with a developmental psychologist who can observe the child and recommend further testing. [/quote]
