[QUOTE="lovelyboy, post: 444964, member: 8045"] Thanx for input...Midwestmom.....I'm still trying to get my mind around the whole Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD).......I am still rasionalizing it all very much! I think her thoughts regarding the medications was to just take a bit of the edgyness regarding the aggression and anxiety of a bit...He isn't really aproachable for therapeutic intervention at the moment....she hopes that the medications will just make him a bit more 'flexible', emotionaly. WhatI still don't understand....how can she diagnose this after just seeing him for 10 min alone and 30 min with us? Ok...we did give her PLENTY of feedback, background info and examples. She says the main reason why she thinks he has Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is because he thinks very concrete and not enough abstract (he is in my opinion only 7 yr old!)...he inisialy didn't make eye contact, but later a bit (in my opinion he was irritated being with her in the first place, and he is an introverted child). When we go to a new restaurant he goes out of his way to seek new friends, laughs with them and make good eye contact...He has NO signs of any ADHD, no motor developmental delays....ok only vestibular insecurity....causing more ridgit movements. The playtherapist didn't pick up any Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) in the years that she saw him...only said he is very serious and maybe mood dysregulatory disorder. He does have issues regarding being to sensitive to negative feedback from friends...this cause alot of stress for him....I often have to supervise or intervene in his playdates...it easily becomes an argument...him becoming distressed and tearfull or upset.... He also doesn't like bathing...if I tell him that he will smell bad...he will respond with:"yes, and then what..." Also something I noticed...I will be busy explaining something emotional or telling him something important and then out of the blue, while I'm still busy with my sentense he will just start talking about something else as if our conversation never took place! Is this part of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) or just normal 7 yr old behaviour? [/QUOTE]
