do u remember how much did it cost? i heard its pretty expensive

No, I have not. it’s actually better to go to a psychiatrists and have them figure it out. The spect scan will only drain your wallet and It doesn’t really tell the whole story for what you pay. The spect cannners used to scan ADHD and Autism are extremely expensive and are used and recommended only for reasearch. Psychiatrists are very good at finding out if people have ADHD or Autism based on research.

Psychiatrists use the dsm the diagnose based on evolution of four hours and theres a big chance of diagnosing me wrong! i agree the spect scan is pretty expensive but it is the best way to diagnose because i can see all my brain chunks and how they function
