[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 429098, member: 11791"] Then I'd toss in an informal diagnosis of Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD). Trick is... these traits CAN be part of the Asperger's thing as well - as in, Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is a non-pervasive developmental disorder; Asperger's is a pervasive developmental disorder. The assumption is, if you have Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD), then the non-Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) diagnosis are over-ridden by the Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD). But I find it helpful to keep the Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) label and use loosely when trying to describe his issues to professionals (medical or school). So - has he ever been seen by an Occupational Therapist (OT) (Occupational Therapist)? these guys don't do diagnosis - they just find ways to make things work better, and when that doesn't work, they find alternative ways to do things. Their testing results can also be useful to other professionals. Includes sensory issues, too. by the way - if there IS a Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) component, that's actually good news - with intervention and lots of practice, and the miracle of time, a fair bit of this can be overcome - and the rest, they can learn good "management" techniques. Its worth getting interventions... [/QUOTE]
