Not what I expected! My daughter is in the process of being diagnosed.  We just received the psychology report back and she was diagnosed with conduct disorder and mood disorder NOS. We still have a genetic diagnosis appointment so we'll have to see what that doctor says.  She still has signs of Aspergers. I was wondering if anyone had a child that had a mixture of ailments like conduct disorder and Asperger's? I would seek out a PSYCHIATRIST who specializes in autism.  Many professionals who don't specialize in autism see all of autism's "trees" and not its "forest"  Any time I see a laundry list of psychological disorders in a child, I think "autism has been unrecognized."  Ask this psycologist to rule out an autism spectrum disorder.All children with Autism/Aspergers have issues in pragmatics.  I'd ask for a pragmatic language test usually done by a Speech therapist.  I'd also consider a Language assessment if you haven't had one even is you suspect aspergers.  It can show  underlying issues with retrieval, sequencing, comprehenion etc.   Issues with these can look like behavior disorders. a Psychiatrist, or a Ped Dev Neurologist. The LAST THING you need is someone who treats developmental disorders as a psychological/environmental etc problem!
