[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 92866, member: 1233"] GEt a private Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation, never ever ever trust a school district evaluation. I do not mean to offend, but the evaluators that are paid by a school district do have a bias. Make sure your evaluation is done well, and is current. It sounds like you have some instincts niggling at you. TRUST YOUR MOMMY INSTINCTS. My state is setting up an autism network, things really started hopping in the last few months with seminars and info flowing. I was asked to help as I can a few years ago but it took forever to get anything done. I am a mom with no special training other than raising an Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kid who was much like yours, except no Occupational Therapist (OT) or speech therapy. He had a LOT of original speech and some echolalia. Not much. Majoryly hyperlexic, which NO ONE told us was an issue. Not until he was in 4th or 5th grade!! Keep an eye on him, make sure he is progressing, and try to set it up so that he has the room he needs to throw things or wave blankies around with-o hurting anyone. I think in a year or 3 you will find more. Or maybe just refine what you have. And every year or 3 after that it will happen again. Partly learning more about your child, and partly because we are learning more about all the disorders period. Susie [/QUOTE]
