Hi,
I think she wants her to come in for ten visits, then says it will take seven hours to evaluate and write a report. That seems very excessive to me, but I am not sure what is typical.
She has already done some testing (and already said she wasn't showing signs of Aspergers from the inital meeting) now she will do testing for ADHD and then an IQ test. After that, I am not sure what the plan is, but am wondering if ten in office visits which will be testing oriented are warrented esp. since she is actually doind so much better across the board. She has friends at pre-k,, can play well at a playdate, more self control, less massive tantrums, etc. What we are left with now is mostly the high intensity, constant talking, and the high need for stimulation: grabbing jumping singing making noise etc. Honestly, it is hard on me to be around all that all day since I prefer quiet and minimal commotion. Maybe all she needs is the right environment, but who knows where that will be...
