Guest guest Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 Hi, I have been reading posts for about a week now and you all have already helped me. I have a 5 year old son . We had him evaluated last fall by Regional Center for AS and they said no he is fine and sent us on our way. Of course we knew he wasn't fine but most of his behavior only became obvious at home not school. He has been on Abilify for over a year because of violent meltdowns. This fall he started K and things are not going well at all. He has been sent home several times already and we have barely made it through the first month of school. He is in private school though so Regional Center doesn't want anything to do with him. We want to have him evaluated by someone else because we really feel he is AS plus it runs heavily in dh's family. DS has two cousins diagnosed with AS plus numerous undiagnosed relatives. We found out that a Neuropsyche eval. would cost between $2500 and $5000. That is a lot of money plus they told us that more than likely it would not be covered by our insurance. Can anyone tell me if that is a ok price range for an eval.? Did anyone else's insurance cover the eval? Part of me is so convinced he is AS that I think maybe we don't need an eval but then after them saying he wasn't AS last year there is always that doubt in my mind. For awhile I was looking at possibility of Bi-Polar but it doesn't really run in our family and he can be hyper but not really manic I don't think. Any thoughts would be appreciated, Hilery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
