[QUOTE="trsturself, post: 105676, member: 4386"] Thank you all for your input. I appreciate you taking the time to write. My daughter has been able to do the "NOW" test since she was young. She has no problem interacting with older children or adults, she just doesn't make a ton of friends her own age. My cousin's easy child is 10 and when she was out (she lives in TX, we live in CA) for a visit at my parent's house she requested that difficult child come over and spend the night and asked if she could hang out there on multiple occasions. They got along great. difficult child also has a best friend from her last school that they get along great. We do play dates with her and just listening to them play it's obvious difficult child does not have the social issues that go along with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) or aspergers. Like I said the main reasons the doctor said that was 1) the gross motor coordination issue (she can't ride a bike or throw a ball very well - of course she's never really tried either. she's only been on a bike twice and she didn't really like it) and 2) because she was engrossed with the blocks so she wouldn't look at the doctor when she was asking her questions - she gets engrossed in stuff easily and shuts everything else out (good skill later in life). I don't think this is enough of the main symptoms of aspergers, nor severe enough to make this diagnosis. She is missing the core symptoms of the social issues. No one at home gave her the suggestion of the new teacher, trust me, we were shocked to hear her say it. It's quite possible that someone at school (principle?) gave her that idea and she is repeating it. Or she made the connection quite easily... if I scream loud enough in day care and get a new one, maybe it will work in class too. It surprised us because usually when she does something like this and we ask her what happened she says she doesn't know. So this was something that made us stop. stomachaches.... yeah, I'm not completely convinced about that diagnosis either. but we could not find a pattern or any emotional trigger. my dad has acid reflux, and i get it occasionally when laying down, so we'll give the rx a try and see if it helps or not. husband - doesn't read (scoptic sensativity). i think he's checked online a couple of times, but if it's long, he won't read it. frustrates me to no end. but he's just not a reader.
