[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 550841, member: 1550"] Bingo. This is why I never used speech therapists or the like for evaluation purposes. For HELP, yes. For diagnosis, not at all. They only know their own field and can't see other signs beyond. I would keep pursing a total evaluation and put what the Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) said in the background. Only a psychiatrist, neuropsychologist and POSSIBLY (I don't remember) a licensed clinical psychologist can legally make a diagnosis. University hospitals tend to be on the cutting edge...please, please be sure to take V!! Whether or not V is on the spectrum is like splittnig hairs. He is acting like it so the interventions should help him. I always prefer the professionals who are able to diagnose by seeing the big picture, not just one area. APDs are common on the spectrum, just like sensory issues are. And an Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) diagnosis. will help get interventions alot more than the other diagnosis. will. Good luck! :) [/QUOTE]
