This is more of a factor in diagnosing NLD than AS as dx of NLD relies on a neuropsych eval , wheras AS relies on a behavioral eval. anyway it seems like the new WISC makes it harder for NLD diagnosis becuase of some missing subtests.

-as of now official dx is ADHD (inattentive type) but said ADD (314.00) on the dx paper, PDD-NOS and was told looks like I have NLD
