[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 14041, member: 2423"] Suzy, I don't have a child with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) -- just 3 with mood issues -- but I personally would want an accurate diagnosis that would lead to putting the proper interventions into place. I know that some Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) interventions can be done privately (or at school or both), such as speech, Occupational Therapist (OT), social skills, etc. I also know that we have been very forthcoming with our kids' schools because our kids spend a good chunk of their day at school and then have homework that comes from the school. My kids are bright and high-performing students. We have been told by numerous teachers, "If you hadn't told me there was an issue, I never would have known." But that doesn't mean the issues don't exist. And foruntately, we have found that informing the schools about the mood issues makes the teachers more sensitive to our kids. Just this morning, I met with easy child's teacher and the school counselor about a spike in easy child's anxiety that was leading to some school refusal. We came up with a plan to ease easy child's anxiety, and then the counselor brought easy child into the room and talked to her. I'm feeling very upbeat that the school worked with us as a team to solve this problem. What do you think will happen if you involve your son's school? [/QUOTE]
