[QUOTE="SRL, post: 257852, member: 701"] As you mentioned the M-CHAT is a screening tool to surface Autistic traits in the little guys. BASC is a tool which examines behavioral and emotional issues. Diagnoses should never be given out based on the results of any tool, but in conjunction with the child's history, parent interview, and diagnostician's observations. Here's something on the BASC. [URL]http://www.pearsonassessments.com/bascbess.aspx[/URL] It sounds like they're listening and have some direction to go with. You should be aware that often it's parents, teachers, other friends who bring up the possibility of Autism ahead of doctors. For kids who are borderline or atypical it's really easy for them to slip under the radar so parents need to educate themselves and be proactive if they have a child who looks like they may be in this neck fo the woods. Did you get a referral for Occupational Therapist (OT)? I'd ask for that regardless of the outcome of the screening tools. [/QUOTE]
