[QUOTE="SRL, post: 206169, member: 701"] Barbie, since you asked for opinions, as you already have a child on the Autistic Spectrum, I'd have her evaluated for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)'s before expanding the medication search. Another forum I visit has a number of families with more than one kid on the spectrum and they always say that the sibs present differently (ie one more social, more verbal, more anxiety, less obsessive, etc). This is especially true when comparing sibs of different gender since girls, for example, with Aspberger's Syndrome can look different than boys. If it turns up that one sib meets clinical criteria and the other is borderline, it similarly will make comparisons more difficult. I'll second the vote on getting an Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation. [/QUOTE]
