[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 309452, member: 1550"] Get a referral from a pediatrician. Unless you've had a neuropsychologist evaluation or a recent evaluation from a Developmental Pediatrician, you don't know if he's on the spectrum. We got "No" too until it was obvious that it was "yes." Therapists, school educators and testers, even psychologists tend not to do the proper testing for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) so they go in the wrong direction, blame the parenting, try behavioral therapy, and ignore the core issue. If he doesn't have it, he is sure close. You probably can get coverage if your pediatrician will refer you. Good luck, whatever you decide to do. I don't think going this way, however, is going to help your precious little guy. [/QUOTE]
