[QUOTE="SRL, post: 368331, member: 701"] Back in 2000 there was a major study published that showed that half the time doctors weren't listening to concerns of parents when they brought up signs of Autistic Spectrum and that other people (such as other parents and teachers) were instrumental in identifying possible Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)'s. That's important because for instance Asperger's often wasn't diagnosed until late elementary years, past the ideal window for starting therapy. The outcomes improve with early diagnosis and early interventions so I applaud you for picking up on what you did and your doctor for listening. With a parent who understands what a child is dealing with and early interventions, typically there is overall improvement, but honestly expect some ebb and flow. It's pretty typical for a child with AS to be dealing with [I]something. [/I] Hopefully the doctor has referred you on to a diagnostician, plus for evaluations in occupational therapy and speech.
