[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 420155"] Yes, he said that, and there's also the whole thing with her father not being around and that adds to her feeling rejected and being depressed. MWM, here's what he used (as listed in the report): Review of records (psychiatric hospital, the school tests like the Vineland, parent input report from here, etc) Personality Inventory for Children - Behavioral Summary Gilliam's Asperger's Disorder Scale Clinical History Review Millon Pre-Adolescent Clinical Inventory House-Tree-Person Projective Drawings Wagner Hand Tests Rorschach So I have a 7 page report on his findings on her. He put in there that in the DSM-IV this would land her an Asperger's diagnosis, but also wrote out that he was writing it as Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) to be in line with the upcoming DSM-V so that she would not need to be re-diagnosed when they remove Asperger's. He also gave me some names of other doctors if I want to look into testing her level of Sensory Integration Disorder (SID). As for me, it's that A) Kiddo is mini-me with less supports than I had, B) self-assessment tests, like Attwoods and several others all land me more squarely in the Aspie area than her, and C) from talking to me and knowing autism pretty well himself. Nothing in writing would do anything for me at my age, since I am functioning independently and have ways to cope. Putting it in writing could also hurt me if there's ever a custody battle or when getting insurance, too. [/QUOTE]
