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.

Can you have your professionals talk? And then conference with you? Ideally this should happen before they both show up at school and confuse everybody. They should be able to get each other and you on the same page about what exactly they are seeing and why they think what they think. It is possible you can get them to agree if they talk. Even if they do not ultimately agree on diagnoses you should be in no doubt of what each of them means by their diagnosis.

That seems like the most important thing.

Don't panic now-- just keep asking questions and learning, and I think you will get some clarity from your pros.
