[QUOTE="nvts, post: 201279, member: 3814"] WFEN! The way I explain it to teachers etc. is think of my kids as Ice Cream Sundaes. Generically, there's ice cream, syrups, fruit and sprinkles. Autistically within the spectrum depends on what is on the sundae. What type of ice cream? Which syrup? Chocolate, caramel, butterscotch - a combo of 2 or 3 of them? Sprinkles? Rainbow or chocolate? Friut? Bananas, cherries, strawberries? Whipped cream? I am of the personal belief that nuts are ALWAYS involved with our kids :winking:! Depending on the mix, you get a rough idea as to where on the spectrum they reside. Then the best part happens - you go nuts trying to get the diagnosis and as soon as you do, the little bugger either does great on medications, matures or learns a new skill that moves them further up the spectrum thus potentially altering the diagnosis.! This is tons of fun to deal with! But at least you can know that in their hearts, they're good people who just basically want to be happy. Beth [/QUOTE]
