[QUOTE="rlsnights, post: 417320, member: 7948"] MidwestMom beat me to it. I would ask her school to assess her for Special Education and make sure you mention all those behaviors as concerns. I have become a huge proponent of speech and language assessments so I always tell everyone to make the school do one. It's not about how well they can say the words. It's about how they use or don't use language that you care about. My difficult child 2 didn't have one done until 3 years ago and the results blew everyone away because the problems were so obvious once you asked the right questions. And I would go to her pediatrician and discuss your concerns and observations and ask for the neuropsychologist assessment. They may direct you to a developmental pediatrician instead if the peds feels there is enough concern about autism. That's OK too in my book - as a start. Hugs, it's hard to face your fears but better now than 5 years from now. Patricia [/QUOTE]
