If you had a HG child who was diagnosed ADD, did you also get a neuropsych evaluation prior? Or was just treating the ADD enough? I've had a psychiatrist and a psychologist who specifically works with TS and ADD tell me she likely has ADD- but she doesn't lose things and if I tell her to do something she usually does it...she also seems to have anxiety. Her primary symptoms appear to be impatience with instructions from parents (this may just be a kid thing) and underperforming at school- and now social problems- but she started at a new school this year.
Anyway, I'm worried about treating her without comprehensive testing, but I would hate to spend $3K on testing only for them to tell me she has ADD as that money could be better spent on other therapies. Any thoughts on this from those who may have been there, done that?
