[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 87691, member: 1550"] As long as he's getting services, I guess it's ok. My son had more intensive services--he went to Early Education at age three for a half a day and Head Start for a half a day. He got speech, social skills, Occupational Therapist (OT), and PT. It really helped him. By five he didn't have any visible signs of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) anymore, but they reared their ugly head again when he got older and I could compare him more easily to other kids. Then I was glad that we had never cut off his services. Now at fourteen, I'm triply glad. Just because one Dev. Pediatrician was a jerk doesn't mean they all are. I'd see another one. As for a neuropsychologist--LOVE THEM. But you probably won't get an accurate diagnosis. at your child's young age. Our son's kept evolving as he grew. I wouldn't rely on an Occupational Therapist (OT) (even if she's been an Occupational Therapist (OT) for 100 years) to tell you what is wrong with your child. She isn't trained for that. I believe in erring on the side of caution rather than hoping it goes away on it's own. You can't get those years that you waited back for your child. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
