[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  It looks like there are different types of neuropsychological evaluations.  Which should I consider?

I'm still undecided.  I think if any of her teachers knew I was even considering getting her tested, they would think I was nuts.  She's a model student.  In 3rd grade, when I brought up the possibility of some issues she might have to her teacher, he also thought I was nuts. [/quote]

Educators are not qualified to rule out neurodevelopmental conditions. Everything you describe sounds like there is something going on, and your child could benefit enormously from understanding and support.

The different "types" of neuropsychs are those covered by insurance and those not covered by insurance. But the evaluator matters. Many are not confident enough to diagnose autism. You want someone who can confidently diagnose it or rule it out. We used Dr. Rochelle Drill at CAAT and she is amazing. However, CAAT is out of network for in insurance. Our insurance reimburses for out of network claims, so we were able to get some money back.[/quote]
