I think that technically here only those with the medical qualification can put their names to a dx. This is ALMOSt the same here . All up until you said that last sentence. My son went to MANY medical doctors and NONE had a name for specifically what he had only ADHD. Anyway, we went to a Psychologist who was getting her PhD and she told us after many visits and did diagnos with the Aspergers. in IL in the USA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
