My son had an MDE at five. While they didn't "get" the right diagnosis. at that young an age, they certainly steered us in the right direction, including opening the door for school interventions (which your school obviously doesn't want to deal with). They said "autistic tendencies" and, in fact, he did end up with a Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified diagnosis., so they were close. We then got a chance to push for our son to have Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) interventions, which have helped him enormously. I would get the MDE anyways, regardless of what the school recommends. in my opinion, they have their own reasons not to want him tested$$$$.
