So I talked with another place today. Seems the first estimate is not so expensive the next place quoted me at over $3000. Still have a few other people to call, the psychologist emailed me back with better suggestions out of that list but I didn't see that till late today. I didn't think this would be this difficult or complex to decide on testing. I didn't think it the testing would take 8-10 hours, or that it would cost as much.
I guess my experience is clouded by my experience with my DD. Most of her testing was done by the school. I was actually VERY stubborn and refused to drop her from her IEP and made the high school test her in 11th grade so we had updated scores to send with her to college.
I've decided that I have to go with a neuropsc that is in the school districts list. I am worried about the above experience I put down $2 K or more on top of what I'm already paying the psychologist and nothing shows up. I have a personal recommendation to a big university autism's program that I might be able to get to do testing for no cost to me, but they would be specifically looking for autism.
I'm emotionally wrung out of from another fight with my son. Seems after all the effort I have been putting in and there is still homework he hasn't been doing. It just feels to me that he isn't putting in the effort I want out of him. It doesn't bug me when he has difficulty with something even when he gets blocked, or even does badly on a test I know he has studied for but it angers me off when I feel he isn't even trying.
