[QUOTE="buddy, post: 535828, member: 12886"] If he has no problems playing other than aggression, then, yeah....it may not be right, but if he can't play varied, novel back and forth with other kids or has other symptoms that interfere socially, he may have traits. To have the autism diagnosis. kids do not have to have a ton of the common symptoms....many do not line things up or spin or flap hands or have bad eye contact....there is such a wide range of issues so you can check out some of those check list sites and see what you think but given you dont really know what is going on fully, I'd just go ahead with the school for now then get your own independent/private evaluation to find out if it is really some other thing. The thing is in the school therapy for the sensory disorder will likely only happen with the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) label (that isNOT how it should be but they are so connected to it because it is such a common symptom for ASDers) and Occupational Therapist (OT) is a related service that nearly always is thought of when kids have Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) (should be for more too but it is not argued about so much with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)). Once you get that "in" and get the goals on the IEP...THEN fix the label according to the private evaluation if you disagree. I'd hate to see you lose out on Occupational Therapist (OT) services.
