[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 256563, member: 1550"] Sometimes I don't write well. I'm sorry. What I meant is that, with all the red flags for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), it's always good to get a fresh eye to look at your child. As your know, my own son was grossly misdiagnosed and we had to fight to get his diagnosis correct. Apraxia is very often a part of autism and this child has other traits that they are trying to brush off as "severe" ADHD and "mild" autism. Perhaps it's true, but, knowing what I know now, I'd take NOTHING as gospel, and I'd go for a second opinion from new professioanls, especially a neuropsychologist. Often it's best to get more than one opinion. My neuropsychologist was from Mayo, and he told me, "MAYO MAKES MISTAKES ALL THE TIME! EVERYONE DOES." No matter who does the diagnosing in my opinion it's always good to get second and even third opinions, especially when there may be some red flags that perhaps (and only perhaps) the diagnosis is focusing too much on the ADHD and not enough on the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Of course this is JMO. That's what I get for posting in the middle of the night ;) [/QUOTE]
