[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 60788, member: 1550"] I think developmental delay can be fine with a toddler, depending on whether or not the professional clearly sees other red flags, however, when a kid is six and you're still getting "developmental delays" or "cognitive disorder not otherwise specified" (like we did) they're quite often just being timid about saying a word that could have made our lives A LOT easier. My son's IQ has tested all over the place, from 85 50 107. I put more stock in what he can do, which is a lot more than we dreamed (due to his interventions), however there are things he doesn't do well, even at fourteen. And he most certainly does NOT have only ADHD, another label that in my opinion is often misused in order to sugarcoat what may be wrong. Not always, but sometimes. JMO [/QUOTE]
