[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 602937, member: 11791"] On top of that... girls are EXTREMELY difficult to get a diagnosis for, if they are on the spectrum. Somebody around here said once that "a girl with Asperger's still has better social skills than a neurotypical boy of the same age"... in other words, they have to be an extreme case to get noticed, but that doesn't mean they don't need exactly the same help. Switch doctors. Find a nurse practitioner with a good reputation as an alternative - we got some of our best referrals from the nurse practitioner (rather than the GP). Find a clinic that specializes in "challenging kids". Is there anyone at school (counsellor, teachers, etc.) that see the problems and can document for you? Sometimes all it takes is one "non-parent" opinion for others to start noticing. [/QUOTE]
