[QUOTE="confuzzled, post: 588346, member: 8831"] autism is a spectrum and there is all different levels of it...high functioning kids are very often not diagnosis's until much, much later because they are often smart enough to overcompensate until it gets too hard. j may or may not be one of those kids. I meant to post to a different thread of yours but got sidetracked....from a few things you said, I think you might want to look more closely at language/processing/word retrieval type issues (if it is, in fact an issue, it would explain some of his frustration!). I often think some of the things you post about j are very age appropriate and typical, but when you described some of the things he says, I thought there were enormous red flags in his phrasing/language....its very, VERY possible that has more to do with him being multi-lingual or nuances between French/English and how things are typically said in the usa, but in my opinion, I found it unusual, and it was really the first time I thought it about J. particularly coupled with the fact that he has educational difficulties.....and i'm not sure a rural, average speech therapist has enough experience to tease out the problems, let alone treat them. hopefully the np evaluation will give you more direction and a course of action.
