[QUOTE="Mamaof5, post: 399558"] He sounds like a spectrum kid to me too. Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is not a textbook open and shut diagnosis. A child can be Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) with atypical symptoms as well depending on what the underlying or co-morbid issues are. Wevil is Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)/GDD/Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified with issues of sever speach delays, intellectual\developmental disabilities and is being tested for learning disabilities, seizures and genetics testing for everything under the sun but specifically we're looking at FXS (fragile x syndrome). They are also testing for ADHD. She speaks, displays some emotions and caring at times but this was with intensive therapies like speech therapy and occupational therapies and ABA for behavioral therapy. She goes to a school for exceptional children. She's only 5 yrs old. She also has extreme sensory needs and limits. She's a pyro (heat seeker, lights fires for it) and love water (she's flooded my house at 3 am while we all slept just to "play in the rain"). I'd suggest retesting for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and getting a second opinion. He really does sound spectrum kiddo. [/QUOTE]
