[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 582204, member: 1550"] Does she repeat often? That is an Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) trait. Guessing that she'll get that as one of her diagnosis. at least down the road. My son's first language was repeating stuff, even stuff he heard on TV. Sometimes he used to repeat entire cartoon episodes. He was a good mimic and had and still has a great memory! It would have been impossible for him to have answered why he had meltdowns though. He mostly just pointed and made sounds or echoed until he was 4 1/2. Even now, though, at nineteen he has trouble talking about his feelings and why he does things, although he does not act up anymore. That stopped shortly after interventions started. Sensory issues usually go along with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). My son had Occupational Therapist (OT), PT and social skills in school...it didn't cost us anything. He got a lot out of it. He used to wear a weighted vest and jump on a small tramp in school during PT time. Remember that an Occupational Therapist (OT) can not diagnose something like Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). It's not her field. Let her do her job and just diagnose what she understands. [/QUOTE]
