[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 215753, member: 3419"] Hi Numina, welcome. Yes, it is typical for specialists to see what they're looking for in ea of their specialties. The hard part is deciding whether ea issue, whether physical or mental or emotional, is something separate, or whether they all go together to form one thing. Clearly, your son has something going on. What you call it is the issue. On one hand, for ex., being cuddly seems to fly in the face of typical autism or even Asperger's. on the other hand, not every person fits every single criteria. It is a spectrum. I think a diagnosis like you've gotten is an aid to teaching your son, who experiences the world differently than we do. (I'm saying "we" as a non-autistic person.) These kids are smart and capable. We just have to figure out how to unlock their particular talents. If you are not happy with-the psychiatric's diagnosis, and you don't think enough time was spent with-your son, you can take him in for a longer appointment. with-a neuropsychologist. There is no one test for Asperger's (unless you're dealing with-Fragile X) but psychoeducational testing and evaluations from teachers and caregivers, all put together, can help recognize patterns. You've gotten some great ideas here (esp. from Marg :) ) {{hugs}} [/QUOTE]
