[QUOTE="keista, post: 529106, member: 11965"] ((((HUGS)))) First let me say that if it were my child, I would much rather have a diagnosis of Asperger's than of ADHD/ODD. ODD is just not a very 'nice' diagnosis. Second, if he does have Asperger's, that fact won't change just because no one has officially given him that title. (a rose by any other name?). Those, those scores can be tricky if you don't know what you're doing. I can tell you that DD1 did not meet the autism thresholds on the ADOS she was given. [B]HOWEVER[/B] the subtests put her squarely in Asperger's 'territory'. (It's very distressing to be told that your 10 y/o has the social skills of a 3 y/o while having the intelligence of a 14 y/o) Weird Wonderful stuff that Autism is. The best thing is that if you know that that is the issue, and you can prepare yourself to handle things differently, then that miserable kid can become an angel. [/QUOTE]
