Got the pysch report today and PsyD gave the following diagnoses:
Disorder of Written Expression
Expressive Language Disorder
Anxiety Disorder NOS
Does this complicate things or back up my confusion anout the NLD diagnosis? I know NLD is a neuropsych diagnosis not a psychologist diagnosis. I am very confused, though, by so many labels. Psych did not indicate any social concerns other than DD's "sweet and kind nature" could be misinterpreted as weakness thus potentially making her a target for bullies.
Otherwise this report backs up 100% what I have been telling the school and asking for in terms of anxiety control. How does it work with the psych and neuropsych now? I think both are planning to be at the next IEP meeting. Are these diagnoses something they will disagree on or just the way their different specialties address the same set of facts?
p.s. Thanks intparent - I joined that Yahoo group. I have been reading other people's stories and I have to say they really don't seem to mirror our experience. The descriptions by the parents there really seem to highlight serious social/behavior issues which we (fortunately) don't have.
