OK. I went through the past posts and I am both confused and worried about your case history.

Your child acts up in the classroom and has issues with transitions, perfectionism (?), some ADD syndroms and some anxiety. He scores very high on academic tests, had a 99th percentile score on the COGAT, and similarly high scores on one standardized attention test.

He is clearly (past post on self advocacy in math, IIRC) bored out of his mind at school.

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", is willing to prescribe very powerful drugs in non-standard dosages, even after one trial resulted into disaster, and before -- although I am working from memory, darn those timestamps -- anybody could be sure that the drug that sent him into that manic (?) episode at school was completely out of his system. Oh, and referred you to a program which dropped the ball in a rather frightening way.

I don't know what your relationship with the psych is like. Me, there are so many red flags in your past posts, I would get a second opinion before giving anything more to my child.

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.

From here it looks like a bad educational fit (I didn't check all 201 of your past posts looking for hints about what your child's pre-elementary life was like) for a gifted child with maybe 2E issues. So looking for a new school would help. But make sure about the 2E issues too.
