Re: neuropsychological testing-Dara

[Guest guest]

Hi Dara,

I defintiely agree with you there. We once took my son to an autism specialist

and he was diagnosed with PDD-NOS. Every other doctor says there is NO WAY my

son has any form of autism.

Hugs

Judy

Thanks Judy, and wow, that must have been alot to take in.

I really don't understand how the sx can be distinguished from lyme, except the

psychologist said she tends to see certain patterns in patients that have lyme.

Dealing with my son's health and develpmental issues over the past almost-7

years, it has been my experience that every doctor we have seen diagnoses

according to whatever specialty he/she happens to be. His body parts and brain

have been completely compartmentalized. I hope so very much this will be

different!

psychologist, recommended by our LLMD. I will do anything if it is helpful, but

also reluctant for not wanting to put him through one more thing, it is very

expensive, and not sure what she can tell me as far as recommendations that we

are not already doing. He already gets a variety of therapies and has an IEP

with some accomodations.
