Darletta,

After reading your post, I have a question. If your daughter was seeing

a psychologist and a psychiatrist, why can't they test for

Aspergers/Autism spectrum disorders? Why insist that the school do it?

I'm asking because my oldest is my OCD'er and she sees a psychiatrist.

My next child is exhibiting ADD type behaviors and I was thinking that

at some point I'll have the pediatrician or the pdoc evaluate him. I

know that the school would get involved because the teacher does part of

the evaluation, but I wouldn't have " insisted " that the school do the

evaluation. Is there a reason for this?

Thanks!

Dina
