[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 367529, member: 1550"] I would take them both to a neuropsychologist. They are great at diagnosing, test extensively, and give better feedback in my opinion than anyone else. Until then, since you are aware that they are different, maybe you should change your expectations to EXPECT them to be different. You need to call ASAP as NeuroPsychs can have long waiting lists, but are worth the wait. You can find NeuroPsychs at university and children's hospitals. It is common for autistic spectrum kids to SEEM self-centered because they can't relate well to others. They need help with that. You cant' do it. Usually they get the help in school. Did either c hild have speech delays? Do they have trouble making eye contact? Can they relate to their same age peers? Do they have any quirks of obsessive interests? Do they copy things they hear on television, almost verbatim? Any early reading? Lots of anxiety over stopping one activity and starting a new one? Sensitive about clothing textures, food textures, loud noises? Is there a father in the picture? [/QUOTE]
