You have read Misdiagnosis/Dual Diagnosis of Gifted Children, right? What's your feeling?
Because from what I have read Asperger's might be an issue, along with a bunch of other possibilities, and what you are getting instead of a referral to a good neuropsych is treatment from a psychiatrist who "doesn't like labels",...Also call the people you have that evaluation scheduled with for the Spring (and I really hope they get 2E), ask them if they have had any openings show up in their calendar, state that your son has been kicked out of school and your need for answers is getting very urgent, and do any begging/pleading/screaming needed to get you those appointments STAT! Ask to be put on their list in case anything gets canceled, explain that you are willing to drop everything, grab your son and get into their office within 10mn/30mn/1hr, whatever it takes.
LIKE Here's the link to Misdiagnosis and Duel Diagnosis -
It's ok to ask everyone who is dealing with your child to view it (assuming that you like what you see)
