[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 550821, member: 11791"] Sorry if my opinion muddies the waters but... we had various sources pushing us toward an Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)-related diagnosis for years. Turns out, they were part right and majorly wrong. He does have some traits, but no where near what would qualify for an Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) or Aspergers diagnosis. What he did have were many of the other things that tend to go "with" Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)... Auditory Processing Disorders (APD), Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD), Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)... and what appeared to be social issues were caused by extreme fatigue. So... if YOU feel the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) diagnosis is likely or probable, then pursue it. If YOU are not so sure, it may not hurt to hold off for a bit. I don't know how it is where you are, but around here... if you get an Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) diagnosis, you are pretty much stuck with it for life. Not a problem if it is accurate...
