[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Umm I wouldn't really trust a pediatrician to diagnosis that. Stop trying to shape the diagnosis as you see fit,  it may be ASD.[/quote]

I agree the op is trying to shape the diagnosis but it is unclear as to why or what benefit they are looking for.   Just like adhd, now [b]we[/b] are also very quick to diagnosis everything as autism which happened to us and is incorrect. [/quote]

"We?"  So you incorrectly diagnosed your kid with autism?  You make no sense.[/quote]

Our culture as in we.   The developmental ped keeps insisting it is autism.  It pays for therapy so we do not argue but separate test is clear it is not.  At a tieme, there were features but they are gone. [/quote]

Then therapy is helpful.  Chime in when your kid has actually had a neuropsych evaluation.[/quote]

Fortunately we do not need a neuropsychologist and I am not putting my child through more testing than necessary when we got a second pop inion that is very different.  Regardless of diagnosis there are only a few therapy options so the bigger question is what does op think it is or feel others are missing and how can they use it to gain therapy or school services to benefit the child.

NP.  How old is your child?  I have an older kid and the results of the neuropsych drives the IEP, services, accommodations,  private therapies and the type of school (mainstreamed).

I agree with pp that maybe you should chime in when your kid has actually had a neuropsych eval.[/quote]
