[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 437172, member: 1550"] Well, she went to the appointment. The neuropsychologist is young and highly intelligent (graduated from one of the top colleges in the country) and I think we WILL get a lot accomplished. He understood how she can read fluently but not understand what she reads. He understood how she could study for two hours right before a test then have to take the test and forget what she had just studied. It did not throw him at all. She took her third TOVA test (the computer test for ADHD) and said she almost fell asleep taking it...lol. Hub and I had to fill out three long forms. We will find out the results on the 20th, but she was in good hands. Marg, when I said, "She isn't on the spectrum, is she?" he looked at me funny, then laughed and said, "No, she's not on the spectrum." :) From filling out the forms, we could see that she was going to score in the "very normal" area in almost everything, BUT the BIG exceptions are remembering, organizing, being able to start projects without help, being able to pay attention, understanding reading and math...all academic/attentional/organizational. I actually think that, since her behavior is so normal, she'll do well on the executive function test too, except for the exceptions I noted. [/QUOTE]
