BooBoo - It's a serious concern - on the other hand, if there are issues that still exist, then many interventions crafted for kids with various disabilities can sometimes work well to help modulate the difficulty of living with OEs.
If you have a bad feeling about this Psych, can you shop around until you find one that you can feel comfortable with?
I see this as two issues - 1) What if behavior is coming from a poor educational fit, and because the Professional isn't aware that this can happen, the actual need for a good educational fit never gets addressed.
2) How will you be able to trust the recommendations of the Psychologist? Even if the Psychologist is as correct as can be, if there is no rapport, will you believe her or him?
