[QUOTE="nvts, post: 337980, member: 3814"] MWM, although a speech delay isn't common, it's not something that rules out aspergers. difficult child 1 spoke short sentences at nine mos. but difficult child 2 had to have speech (and continues to) issues to this day. Now here's something that I just learned recently: while many aspies have tremendous speaking abilities, quite often they're not able to process what YOU'RE saying to THEM! All of this time I was getting incredibly frustrated with CONSTANTLY repeating myself, it turned out that I was throwing out too many directions, suggestions, etc. for him to process appropriately. Once I went to "step by step" instructions, some of his frustration levels came down to somewhat manageable. They've also recommended that we look into speech for difficult child 1 so that he'd learn to better express himself to his peers. Here he is talking like a 30 year old, and the kids he's speaking to look at him like he's nuts! :happy: Aspies (depending on how they manifest) are pretty neat little buggers. We have 3 and each one of them has different manifestations. difficult child 1 was primarily looking like he had adhd & odd. difficult child 2 will walk off with any stranger that has a dog or baby, but suffers from more of the "Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-like" actions/behaviors. difficult child 3 is like PMS, 24/7 and has enough anxiety to fuel 1/2 the free world. Just don't worry too much about it until you get a firm diagnosis. And make sure that during the neuropsychologist that you bring up your suspicions and concerns. Try and document specific incidents so that they have a base-line to work from. We're here for you! Beth [/QUOTE]
