[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 485973, member: 11847"] Why say autistic traits? I am just repeating what I have been told by the behaviorist and the psychologist who ruled out Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD).... The psychiatric had a Master level, the neuro psychiatric we will see (soon!) has a Phd level. Maybe that will make a difference in the testing and findings. One of the reasons Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) was ruled out: he understands how a conversation is supposed to go (back and forth) although he mostly was centered on himself and his interests. But she said that he had the concept. She says "the quality and nature of his social and communication difficulties, while similar in some regards to children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), do not rise to the level that and Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) appears warranted". husband and I both feel that V could blossom if he had a teacher who knew how to reach him. The few times I was able to do so, he was SO proud of his work and the results stuck with him. But it is very emotionally intense for me (and him) to actually teach him (parents don't always make the best teachers!). At school, he plays on his own and just gets lost in the crowd. He still scrible like a 2 year old and the teachers don't try to teach him. V explained that they give him a pencil and paper, right his name on it and then live. He told me that he does not know what to do. It's hard to realize that I simply don't have the skills to reach him. I need someone to show me, to explain how to proceed. Who will teach me autism methods if V appears too high functioning for a diagnosis??? [/QUOTE]
