Yes achievement testing and social/emotional? No clue exactly what that would be? Will the neuropsych do achievement testing? I really don't feel like paying $220/hr to same psych and I think my insurance will pay for neuropsych.

If going to a neuropsych, I would say you want achievement, social-emotional, and EF (not just ADHD). Make sure the next evaluator has full access to this assessment, to avoid duplication/invalidation.

If you end up looking into RAD (now split into RAD and DSED-disinhibited social engagement disorder), you'll want a skilled child psychiatrist (which, sadly, are rarities), though some experienced psychs (mostly clinical) will be good for this, too.
