[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 469362, member: 11847"] Yeah, those forms... weren't they hard to fill out? The psychologist that ruled out Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) for V, had a different kind. One of the choice was "not a problem anymore" as in used to do it but stopped. Who knows, your psychologist might have one of those. If not, just ask her how to handle the question. As far as sensory processing disorder (SPD), I did not think a psychologist could do such a diagnosis. They can suspect it (ours did for V) but then she would refer you to an Occupational Therapist (OT) for an other evaluation. As far as not being completly inept socially, well that was our big question. She said that with higher functioning kids she had to be VERY carefull but that the tests were thorough enough that she would know at the end. She did more than one test, but it included the ADOS , supposedly the gold standart for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Good luck to you. Try to relax, breath. [/QUOTE]
