[QUOTE="buddy, post: 485994, member: 12886"] This is classic high functioning/Asperger type of conversation. I actually had one clinic say that about Q too, he scored smack dab in the autistic range on the ADOS and they said his eye contact didn't rise to the level...blah blah blah.... Well, he had another medical clinic and two school evaluations say differently. so crazy how they can make such a conclusion from one visit. I think that it is true for all kids, it takes the right teacher to bring our kids out. i hope your next evaluation will look at the bigger picture. Even Q has back adn forth communication, but it is all on him and if he wants a convo to go on he will just ask questions. I have had long conversations with many an Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) child.... Ask TeDo, her kids are amazing conversationalists. I know my son and I would be found dead on the floor if I had to teach him, lol... I get that too. It will be so interesting to hear what the neuropsychologist says, especially given all the new information. OH gosh, that he plays by himself, that says tons... to pin a no to a diagnois for one symptom..that makes no sense. For now, they need only a few symtpoms in each of a few categories. That is why kids look so different with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)/Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD). You can ask us! You can call an autism center if there is one by you. Explain that your son was diagnosed with autistic traits and you want to have some methods to help work with. There are some wonderful books and I still use several of them. I will work on a list of my favorites ok? If I lose this thread pm me so I can remember.... [/QUOTE]
