[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 455752, member: 11791"] If he has [U]anything[/U] on the autism spectrum - including Asperger's - then early intervention is [B][U][I]absolutely vital[/I][/U][/B]. Its not as though there is a specific treatment for Aspies, or medications or anything... but they DO diagnosis early, and then you need to learn how to work with your kid, and then how to help your kid survive in a non-Aspie world. In many areas, there are special services for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids - things like socialization groups, day camps, etc. If he IS Aspie, you're going to want to know as early as possible. If he is NOT Aspie - then the real dxes may have to come later - they don't normally diagnosis ADHD, for example, until grade 1, most Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) issues aren't tested for until grade 1, etc. But at least you would know that its not "Aspie". (or not... at this age, they often get the diagnosis wrong... and it might need to be revisited later...) The background-noise test was done by the Speech Language Pathologist (SLP), not the standard audiologist... so, keep this in your "future file" for Speech Language Pathologist (SLP). (The secondary testing and diagnosis was done by a highly specialized audiologist in a teaching hospital - 10 miles of red tape to get there, but it starts with Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) tests showing issues) [/QUOTE]
