Ditto mon's thoughts - every single one of them! Private neuropsych testing has been absolutely THE single most important thing we've done for our 2e ds.

You can always start by expressing your concerns to your ped again and asking for a referral for private testing - that's how we were able to get our insurance to cover our ds' testing. It won't work for all insurance policies, but it's worth a try.

Best wishes,
