[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 469938, member: 11791"] Keista - Your daughter could be like our difficult child... everyone waffled on Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) for a long time, for different reasons. Our latest full evaluation? I think actually hits the nail on the head. They reported "clinically significant findings" but "does not meet diagnostic cut-off" for either Asperger's or Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). What this means? Yes, difficult child really does have some Aspie traits - but no, technically he isn't Aspie. But... knowing what those traits are, and knowing what things actually work for those traits in Aspies... really helps. Side note - has your daughter ever been tested for auditory processing issues? Her whole reaction to the noise stuff is... familiar. Some of the APDs relate to language processing, but there's a set of issues that has different names depending on who you are working with and what test they use... but it is the impaired ability to filter out background noise. This makes it very difficult to hear what you are supposed to hear, if there is background noise. Trust me - if she has this, it could explain A LOT. Because it drives kids absolutely insane.
