[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 368981, member: 1550"] If he had developmental problems, he very well COULD be on the autism spectrum, but you really didn't give us that much info and we can't diagnose. Did he speak late or copy words? Did he have trouble making eye contact with strangers? Did he dislike being touched? Was he late in pottying? Does he understand how to socialize with his same age peers? Can he transition well from one activity to another? Did he ever line up toys? Did he play with toys at all or just look at them or shake them or dismantle them? Does he have any obsessive interest, such as cars, computers, certain television shows, anything? How does he do in school? All of our kids are defiant, but they are defiant for differing reasons. My suggestion is to skip the behavioral clinic...they do not work well for our atypical kids. I'd take him to a neuropsychologist for 6-10 hours of intensive testing. I believe they do the best diagnosing. If he does have Aspergers or is on the spectrum, he is going to require interventions and he won't respond to normal behavioral methods. Good luck, whatever you decide to do! Welcome to the board, but sorry you had to come ;) [/QUOTE]
