[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 185570, member: 1550"] I do think it could be Aspergers. If she has any speech delays, it could be Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified. Here is an online test that can be very accurate if you answer honestly. It is recommended on the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) board I also post on. If your child has Aspergers she likely will score in the "mild" range of this test. It's not an official test, of course. A neuropsychologist would have to evaluate her. And it's true that Aspergers is often missed and called a laundry list of other diagnosis, including, but not limited to, ADHD/ODD/bipolar/apraxia/learning disabled...how do I know? I went through this with my son. Early intervention is absolutely mandatory for the best outcome, so I'd at least try to see if you can get some sort of appropriate diagnosis. as that will lead to supports. Unfortunately, ADHD/ODD doesn't get you much help...that was my son's first diagnosis. Here's the test: [url]http://www.childbrain.com/pddassess.html[/url] Here is an overview of Asperger traits, however ALL Aspies are different and NONE have every symptom.
