[QUOTE="Calista, post: 120142, member: 666"] The word Autism scares a SD because they know that once there is an Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) diagnosis then they have to open doors of support and accommodation. That may be why the first teacher backed off after you mentioned it. A stimulant can definitely have bad side effects for spectrum kids, they do for mine. I will tell you that having a correct diagnosis and know which path to take, no matter what it is, is a relief. Push hard for the evaluation. Get it done anyway you can. I knew when my difficult child was 4 that he had Asperger's. We had been going to a children's hospital for years with no improvement and many many continued problems. They would not diagnose the Asperger's. The SD is the one that finally made the official Asperger's diagnosis. We went through HELL for a while and ended up placing difficult child in a short-term (4 week) placement where they found medications that work. We now have a new PDdoc, from the placement center, who is treating the Asperger's. It hasn't been a walk on the beach but, at least we know what were dealing with, everyone is on board, and difficult child is TONS better with everyone treating the same, CORRECT, diagnosis. God Bless and Good Luck with the evaluations. [/QUOTE]
