[QUOTE="SRL, post: 221024, member: 701"] Cindy, as a moderator, let me welcome you to our forum. We encourage all new posters to post an introduction and create a signature. Since you have extensive medical background, you are most likely familiar with the article "Practice parameter: Screening and diagnosis of Autism, Report of the Quality Subcommittee of the American Academy of Neurology and the Child Neurology Society". Among other things, the article reveals that almost half of all parents found other parents and the school system to be their best source of help, as opposed to the medical community.
