[QUOTE="Pumkinpie, post: 92136, member: 4263"] Well just got off the phone *again*. The Lady from the Regional Center who told me yesterday that there is nothing they can do for my son since he doesnt have developmental problems just psychiatric called me. She reviewed his case file and was floored. (Since nothing has changed in the past few months since I saw her last my eye brows raised). She says with the Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) and Central Auditory Processing Disorder he has all the signs of Autism are you sure he isnt Autistic? My response Mam I dont know he has been diagnosed with ODD and a slew of other things. The only time I know for certain he was tested was through the school. So I read her the reports of his new IEP and his test scores. I told her that she told me since it was an education diagnosis that it wouldnt hold water. She reads her reports and tells me well his IQ is in the 90's he is well in the normal range. (I mmhmm to this) She asks me well can you get a Dr to test him. (Big Sigh) Can you find me a Dr who will see him? So now Ive called the two #'s she gave me of course atm there is no answer but it seems as if there might be a light at the end of the tunnel after all. Then she asks me about my daughter. She remembered her from when we did my difficult child's assessment. Well I go on to tell her that my daughter still doesnt talk not mom or dad or anything. That she has been terrified of strangers since an infant. (Her turn for the Big sigh) Well with an older sibling with autism studies show the younger ones have a 50% of having it themselves. *fear racing through heart now* She says they can start test for as young as 18 mo.
