[QUOTE="DDD, post: 385691, member: 35"] Welcome. Things often get slow on the weekend around here so I'm responding so you won't wonder why you haven't gotten a response. I remember well the first post comes with anxiety and eagerness to have someone understand what you are living with on a daily basis. Believe me you are not alone. I assure you that Aspergers does not always include the behaviors you have read about. In our case, and many others on the Board, the signs are often very subtle. The lack of appropriate social interaction is almost always present. AS kids do often, however, seek adults for conversation rather than peers. As a result adult friends think you have a precocious child who is very friendly. It's difficult to identify in young children in my experience. Regarding testing the neuropsychological examination usually takes five to eight hours of various tests as well as often being interviewed by multiple experts. The results are comprehensive and usually shows a path of treatment for the child. I'm not sure about other places but in Florida there are centers who specialize in child and adolescent evaluation. Via the school system you can often get the evaluation done but where we live at least the school board uses a local who is not truly a specialist. I recommend making sure you have the money to have it done independently by an expert team. Well, lol, this is my version of a "short" response. Aren't you glad I had to rush? :winking: You've found a wonderful group of people who will be supportive. Glad to have you. DDD [/QUOTE]
