[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 418479, member: 1550"] Malika, I respectfully disagree. Most kids who show problems very young...enough that a parent's gut says "something is wrong" are right that something is. ADHD/ODD is a lot different than autistic spectrum which can be diagnosed quite young and can only be helped with interventions. There isn't much you can do just by your parenting style. I'm not talking about your son...I am addressing the parent who wrote. There is no down side to an evaluation. Early interventions have never hurt any child. The earlier the better! Although traditional autistic spectrum kids are delayed especially in speech, Asperger's kids are usually ahead of other children that way, but can not adapt or do well with their peers. As they get older it can become so debilitating that even the brightest can not be completely independent. Because they have so much potential if it is caught early, it is best diagnosed and treated. I don't know if this child has Aspergers, but she has some traits...it's best to check it out. "Little children little problems. Big children big problems." I have raised five children and believe this with all my heart. in my opinion, it is best to get help as young as you can when the brain is still flexible rather than waiting for the horrible teen years that many of these kids (if not most) go on to have.
